Franz “Frank” Offenbacher, age 91, passed away February 18, 2022. He was born July 29, 1930, in Filipovo, Yugoslavia, to the late Paul and Magdalena Offenbacher. Frank married Theresia Gfesser in 1952. In July of 1955, they immigrated from Austria to the United States, arriving by boat to Ellis Island, and relocating to Chicago where they would raise their children. As a proud resident on Sunnyside Ave. for 50 years, he would love to say “it’s always sunny on Sunnyside!” Frank was a plant superintendent for 35 years at Lakewood Engineering & Manufacturing Company and retired at 62 years old in 1992. He was an avid Blackhawks fan and enjoyed playing golf and fishing. Beloved husband to the late Theresia; loving father to Trudy (Thomas Schultz) Offenbacher, Heidi (the late Joseph) Stilling, and Frank Paul Offenbacher; cherished grandfather to Stephanie T. (Nate) Jimenez, Peter M. Stilling and Timothy F. (Caitlin J. Saraceno) Stilling; dear great grandfather of Rosalie J.
