Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Terry went home to Jesus Sept. 19, 2025.
He was born May 1, 1942, in La Porte, the first of four sons of Steve and Doris Frank. He and his beloved first wife, Judy, were blessed with two sons, Tad and Kelly Frank.
What a loving, hard working, generous man Terry was! At gatherings, he was the fun one that would take time to play with all the kids. He loved Jesus, football, popcorn, mayonnaise and hard butter! Traveling and serving/helping others in the church and community brought him joy.
Terry graduated from La Porte High School, Ball State University and University of New Mexico, pursuing a teaching/coaching career at Northwestern High School, Wawasee High School and Warsaw Community High School. He was also an adjunct professor at Bethel College. Mathematics, driver’s education and coaching football/wrestling were his educational endeavors.
Terry and his second beloved wife, Debbie, shared 30 years together. What a terrific stepdad he was to daughters: Holly Knoble, Heather Hart, Heidi Hart and Hope Niemer. Their 24 grandchildren and three greats provided a myriad of heart-warming memories.
A celebration of Terry’s life will be held Oct. 17 at 10:30 a.m. at Leesburg Grace Church, Leesburg.
