He was born July 14, 1932 in Preston County, West Virginia, the son of Ignatz and Jennie Komowski Krynicki. In addition to his parents, Frank was preceded in death by the love of his life, his beloved wife, Betty A. Piper Krynicki; and his siblings, Edward Holipsky, Leona Scarton, Jay Fiore, Agnes Neugenbauer, Irene Shaffer, Vicky Bonnett, and Thomas Krynicki.

Frank is survived by his sons, Douglas Krynicki and wife, Brenda and Raymond Krynicki and wife, Marybeth; grandsons, Charles Krynicki and Ira Paul Johnson; great grandson, Matthew Johnson; brothers, George Krynicki (Louise) and Richard Krynicki (Nancy); many nieces and nephews.

He was an aircraft mechanic beginning with Piedmont Airlines and retiring with US Air. Frank was a faithful member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. Being a veteran of the Korean Conflict, Frank served his country honorable in the US Army.

Frank was a humble, softspoken man who loved and served his family, his church family, his country and his many loyal friends. It is noted that grandson, Charles, was the apple of Frank's eye and you often found them together. Frank enjoyed being outdoors in God's beautiful world of nature hunting and fishing. Frank's passing leaves an empty place in our family circle and in our hearts.
