Mr. Konieczny was born Sept. 26, 1923, on the family farm in Thorp, the son of Frank and Sophia (Haider) Konieczny. He attended Pineland School. 

Frank was united in marriage to Phyllis Ammentorp on June 16, 1945, at Nazareth Lutheran Church. 

In addition to owning a dairy farm in the town of Withee, Mr. Konieczny also worked at Thorp Silo Company and later was employed at Master Package, where he was a foreman. He retired in 1987. 

Frank was a member of Nazareth Lutheran Church and also served on church council. He was a past president of the Paper Workers Union and former member of the Pineland School Board. Frank was also a former manager of the Pineland School Baseball Team. 

Frank cherished the time he could spend with family and friends, especially if it included playing Sheepshead, cribbage and various card games. Camping, hunting and fishing were some of Frank's other favorite pastimes.
