Frankie was born on October 15, 1950, in Mountain City, Tennessee, to Frank H. and Betty Snyder. He married Diane Boggs on May 23, 1970, and they had been married for 50 years. Diane survives.
He worked at Orrville Products as a Machinist for 33 years and retired in 2012, after working at Wooster Community Hospital.
Frankie was a member of Christian Harbor Church in Orrville. His passion was cars, and he enjoyed going to car shows and the races in Bristol, Tennessee. He enjoyed lifting weights, traveling to Tennessee to see family, and visiting the Great Smoky Mountains. He loved playing in the ocean waves with his boys, and most of all, spending time with his wife and two sons.
He will be remembered as a strong man with a big heart, a hardworking man who never missed a day of work, and a loving, protecting husband and father.
