St. Kilian’s was a very important part of Uncle Frank’s life. He volunteered in many different capacities, including the sacrisist, eucharistic minister and St. Vincent DePaul Society. Frank was also very proud of his service to his country, serving in the US Army during the Korean War. He grew up in his family’s business, Mandl’s Bakery, and learned the trade of a baker from his father. When Mandl’s closed, he continued his love for baking with Soergel’s. Upon his retirement as a baker, he began another career at the Butler Auto Auction. Frank was loved by all and could make a friend anywhere he went.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, www.stjude.org.

It saddens me that because of an emergency dental procedure I was unable to attend Frank Mandl’s funeral services yesterday. Frank was my dear cousin. I have never known a warmer kinder man. If Frank is not now a saint in Heaven, then there is no hope for the rest of us!
“Uncle Frank” and “Aunt Millie” were the first to welcome myself, my wife Christine and our daughters Erin, Jennifer and Jaime to St Kilian’s in 1996. You always had a friendly word and smile for everyone. May God bless you and welcome you the way you were so welcoming to everyone at St Kilian.
“Uncle Frank” brought joy into so many lives. I suspect his sense of humor isn’t silenced but part of the smiles that make up our lives.
May his soul find the peace it so rightly deserves.
