Oshkosh

Frank G. Holmes Jr. of Oshkosh went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the age of 86. He died peacefully surrounded by his family. 

Frank was born in Hancock, WI, on February 6, 1939, to Frank Sr. and Norma (Brown) Holmes. Upon graduating from high school, he served in the Army for three years. Frank then became a skilled worker in the building trades, specializing in terrazzo floors. He did this in the Milwaukee area for six years, before moving north where he worked for Arvin Meritor, Rockwell, and Speed Queen. After retirement he enjoyed going to Florida in the winter where he loved walking on the beach. During the summer you would see him walking outside for miles. His family was most important to him. He married Edna in Tigerton, WI, on September 11, 1965. They were married for 59 years until his death. He was a great dad and loved his grandchildren. 

Frank is survived by his wife Edna, one son, Frank III (Julie) Holmes of Oshkosh, and one daughter, Julie (John) LaFleur of Hartland, three grandchildren Frank IV, Monica, and Melia, three sisters, Vivian Krasavage, Verna McGinnis, and Pat Holmes, two brothers, Ken Holmes and Larry Holmes. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, Ron Holmes, five brothers-in-law and two sisters-in-law.
