Frank was born June 13, 1932, in Cedar Rapids, to Frank Joseph and Sylvia (Wavrin) Trcka. He graduated from McKinley High School in Cedar Rapids, attended Iowa State University and served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He married Evon Frette in 1955 and moved to Ames in 1957. They were married for 55 years and raised four children. He worked at Bourns Inc. as a manufacturing engineer most of his career, after which he worked as a manager at Composite Technology, a consultant for Pella Plastics, and a plant manager for GM Manufacturing. After retirement he enjoyed delivering vehicles for Accurate Auto Trim.
He was a member of St. Cecilia Catholic Church, ISU Century Club, the American Legion, Indian Guides, and The Society of Manufacturing Engineers in which he became an international director. He was a hunter, a fisherman, a bowler, an avid ISU sports fan, and enjoyed ushering at ISU football games for 53 years. He loved and enjoyed his family and rarely missed one of their activities, usually watching through the lens of a video camera. He was a role model, mentor, fixer of all things, and was loved and respected by his family, friends and coworkers.
He is survived by his wife, Evon, of Ames; one son, Frank E. (Marleah), of Washington, Iowa; three daughters, Sue (Tim) Taege and Kathy (Randy) Auel, of Ames, and Patty (Daryl) Taylor, of Hudson, Iowa; 10 grandchildren, Jennifer (Tyler) Thomsen, Rachel, Luke and Breanna Taege, Michele (James) Morgan, Sara (JD) TeBockhorst, Ashley (Nick) Chardoulias, Cory Taylor, Daniel and Nicole Auel; and three great-grandchildren, Hayden TeBockhorst, Jamie and Jacob Morgan.
