Frank Rosen Obituary

Frank and Lois were activists and organizers but since I lived upstairs from the Rosens and as a kid, I knew them as Aunt Lois and Uncle Frank. They were always inviting me to share meals and play time with their family. Frank was good at finding creative ways to keep me in check when I was out of control during play. But,sometimes, he would simply raise his voice a notch and would call out: "Steverino, (his nickname for me) calm down." Frank did a lot for the neighborhood kids that would congregate in our backyard. He brought back huge wooden spools from UE that we would roll up and down the yard. We had a tree in the back yard that we use to pull crab apples down from and throw them at unsuspecting children down below. We never got in trouble for that but I think Frank and Lois Anne knew what was going on.

Very sorry to hear of Frank's passing. The workingclass has lost a staunch leader and advocate. The workingclass needs its own political party more than ever.

The Canter's and the Rosen's go so far back, and with such fond memories. I remember thanksgiving at your home (chocolate cream pie from under the stairs) I remember our parents sitting around my home and just the joy that was all around them. Our father's friendship ran very deep as brothers. I can see them all now just sitting around planning another rally. Thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. Anna

May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. My most sincere condolences.

I remember Frank and Lois from when I was very small, when we all lived in the Gage Park area. My mom, Lucille, was very close with Lois over the years. Thank you, Frank, for your activism in a neighborhood that desperately cried out for it. My condolences to Bernice, and to the kids and grandkids.
