Frank's obituary

Frank Leroy Willmert was born on October 28, 1930 to Jacob and Cora (Camper) on the Gilbert Place farm in Atlanta, IL.

Frank met the love of his life, Sarah, on a blind date at a relative's birthday party in January 1953 and they were married on May 28, 1953. Together they had 8 children, including two sets of twins in succession and finally the daughter they were hoping for.

Frank and Sarah were also blessed with 19 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren. His love of kids went beyond the family and he loved to interact with any child he encountered.

Frank was a tireless member of any church that he was blessed with being a part of, utilizing his carpentry skills to help build churches, once rebuilding the same church after it burned down. He was the first to volunteer for any church activity and found great comfort in his faith and church family.

Franks passions in life were Sarah, the church, and coffee and fishing; coffee and fishing were tied, but if the activity had coffee, he was happy.
