Frank Knight, Class of 1970, passed away.

 

Mike Hess, Class of 1975, posted:

 

“He was friends with my brother, Robert Hess, Bruce Coleman and me in our younger years. We grew up near each other on Helen's Run.

 

“He had worked as a block and brick mason for Henderson Construction and a little while for Hess Construction.

 

“He is pictured in the 4th row far left photo taken either at Thoburn or Monongah Junior High and his senior photo at Monongah High school. He served our country in the Army.

 

“Prayers for Frank's family and friends. I have many memories of Frank when we were young. I remember when he was living with his grandparents on Helen's Run.

 

“He had bought a 55 or 56 Chevy and was working on fixing it up. When he would start it up, it was loud and my brother Robert Hess and I (Michael Hess) would run over to see what he was doing. He said I knew you would come running, LOL.

 

“There was a little gang of us that hung around together. Gary Hayhurst, Bruce Coleman, Robert Hess, Johnny Rowan and me. I was the youngest, but they allowed me to tag along.

 

“As we were growing up we were always helping each other work on our cars or some other projects.

 

“We were sad when Frank went to the Army and Korea. I remember he stayed with us at my parents’ house one time that he was on leave. Another time when on leave a couple of Army buddies were with him and we went to Colasessano's for pepperoni rolls. His Army buddies had never had a pepperoni roll before and loved them.

 

“After Frank got out of the Army he became a brick and block mason and was very good at it.

 

“Rest in peace Frank.

 

I couldn’t have written the article any better or with more love, Mike. Thank you.

 

And, indeed, rest in peace, Frank. You will live on in memories of people like Mike Hess.

“I remember him as a kind person. I went to MHS with him. Prayers for the family.”

 

Pat’s parents are Stanley and Teresa Slovekosky, “who were friends with Bob and Helen. I remember Linda.”

 

Mike Hess responded to Pat:

“They played cards with my mom and dad and Uncle Buck.”
