Frank J. Bolinsky

Frank J. Bolinsky, 80, of Frackville passed away unexpectedly at his residence on Friday, March 20th, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Butler Township, he was a son of the late Anthony and Genevieve Szwabowicz Bolinsky. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Anthony Bolinsky and Leonard Bolinsky, and a grandson, Jared Bolinsky.

Frank was a member of St. Joseph the Worker Parish, Frackville.

Frank was a self-employed landscaper for many years, owning and operating his own business while proudly serving the Frackville community and surrounding areas. He was well known for his strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the pride he took in every job, building lasting relationships with those he served. Later, he went on to work as a labor foreman at SCI Mahanoy until his retirement.

Above all, Frank had a deep love for his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who found his greatest joy in supporting his grandchildren. Whether it was attending sporting events, school activities, or special occasions, Frank could always be found cheering them on and taking great pride in all of their accomplishments.
