Frank was born in Dresden, OH to the late Herman and Melba (Davis) Stratman. He worked at Cyclops, where he retired from after 30 years of employment. On November 14, 1949, Frank married Elizabeth Ann Holder. Some hobbies that Frank enjoyed were reading, flea-marketing, arrowhead hunting, and coin collecting. He also liked to polish rocks, do beadwork, and make walking sticks. He liked to spend time outdoors taking walks, roller-skating, and gardening. Frank was a very friendly person; he loved talking to people and he never met a dog that he didn’t like.
Frank is survived by his daughters Kristy McCoy and Tina (Dan) Embrey, his three grandsons, Jeremy Franklin McCoy, Nathan Embrey, and Nicholas (Anna) Embrey and their daughter, Lyla, his brother Myron Stratman, and his sister Alice (Larry) Smith.
Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth “Annie”, his sisters, Betty Slate and Rhea Murphy, and his son-in-law, Larry Pete McCoy.
