One of my most loved memories of big frank knocking on my door with a young boy about 5 Joshua I later found out. It's was Dec 19 ,1993. Doing the lord's work he had brought some Christmas gifts from his church for my 3 kids. Cash were tight
Mr. Smialek has inspired me in both my personal and professional lives. As a boyhood friend of his two son's, and later as an employee, I learned many things from him. He was a patient man who always took the time to explain the "Why" behind many of life's experiences. For that I will always be grateful.
My condolences to Frank, Jeff and Nina.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family, especially to Frank with whom we worked for several years as suppliers to Itala. We miss both Frank & Helma and our thoughts are with them. Regret that we are out of town this Saturday with grandchildren sitting duties and will miss the memorial service.
To all of the family
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away int0 the next room. Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forded air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well.
The Austrian-German family:
Ilse, Quirin and Monique, Kathi and Flo, Ludwig,
Ines.
My condolences to the family of Frank. He was my friend and client
for many years. I will always remember his kind and gentle manner. He will be missed but not forgotten.
