Things I learned from Frank over the 13 years of our friendship.

The importance and enjoyment of a close friend.

The proper golf protocols. 

The value of knowledge.

He enhanced my "Get It Done" attitude.

And lastly, I classify Frank as my best friend in 50 years.

Frank and I worked together at Trinity Health over a decade ago. He was a brilliant biostatistician who taught me how to use SPSS for data analysis. He had a great sense of humor and we called each other comrade. Every time he came to the corporate office in Michigan, I would have luck to enjoy nice chocolate he brought from South Bend. He is a great man who has a big heart and tremendous courage to speak to the truth. He will be deeply missed. My condolences and prayers to the Piontek family.

To the family of Frank Piontek, please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. May Heavenly Father grant your family many blessings to help get you thru these tough times. Remember the wonderful memories you made and shared with Frank and cherish them, and they will bring you joy in the future.

I can remember the many good times I have had with Frank with my association thru Chapter #1027 of VVA.  He always seemed to help folks around him, and lent a hand wherever he could.  I know he has helped many veterans.  He will be missed greatly.

It is with great sadness that I learned of Frank's passing.  I had the honor of working with Frank for nearly 15 years at Trinity Health.  Frank was a highly respected teammate.  He had a keen intellect, a wonderful sense of humor and unending work ethic.  His analyses were the foundation of countless clinical care improvement projects that favorably impacted the care of thousands of people.  He was a brilliant biostatistician who highlighted the core care improvement opportunities across the clinical spectrum.  I deeply appreciated Frank's ability to speak truth to power and work with a broad spectrum of people across Trinity Health.  I have been very proud to have called Frank my friend.  My condolences to the Piontek family.  My prayers are with you.

Sue and family-

Our sincere condolences.  Frank will be greatly missed.

He was a great friend to Dave over the years in golf and VVA.

Frank was a coworker of mine at Trinity Health and a fellow "49er" as we used to joke.  When he came to Michigan where I was located, he would always bring me South Bend Chocolate Covered Peanuts because he knew I loved them.  We enjoyed inviting him to a UM-ND football game many years ago in Ann Arbor even though he cheered for ND.  I'm in so sorry we never worked out meeting half way between our homes after COVID for golf and dinner.   Frank will be so missed.  May he rest in peace.  Prayers to the family.

Sue, 

Our condolences to you and the family. Frank was a great guy ,we always had a few laughs when we would get together, usually for golf and a few cold ones.

God bless you and the family

Dear Sue, Jason, Anna and Rachel,

I heard about Frank and all of you when I was working at Quietcare at Madison Center and knew he was a good father and healthcare advocate. I am sorry for your loss.  I am hoping all of you, Sue , children and grandchildren are able to heal from it. I know Anna and Megan knew each other from Southold and I knew Rachel from SMC and Madison Center. Sue, I even met your grand and great grandchildren.  Thanks for the influence you all have had a on us. My husband Dan would see Frank at Studebagels and enjoy their conversation about Holy Cross Healthcare. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

To Franks Family, Frank and I met at Brookwood golf course, I got to know him over the last 6 or 7 years pretty well.  I loved talking and listening to him, I learned from him and appreciated him very much, as did our whole staff at the golf course.  He taught us and yes challenged us in a way that was polite and fun.  I will sure miss that...and we will all miss him.  I hope that you can find some comfort knowing that he really was a pleasure to be around.  My sincere thoughts are with you and your family.  Joe Thomas

Sue, our sincere condolence to you and your family on Franks passing from myself and Marge.

Frank, may you rest in peace. Semper Fi Marine......C. David Guzicki

I met Frank in 2000 when Holy Cross merged with Mercy to form Trinity. I have rarely in my career had the opportunity to meet such a knowledgeable, gregarious, and caring person as I did in Frank. He had a ready smile, and huge laugh and was always there to share his wealth of knowledge. He will be sorely missed by many.
He was a good guy and very fun to talk to. His brother Joe (my Uncle Joe) was one of my favorite people of all time. I fondly remember spending time with Gramma Josephine, Frank, and my beloved Uncle Joe. Those generations of Pionteks have passed but I pray for them every day.
