Franklin Dale Starnes, Warren, Ohio
WARREN, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – Franklin Dale Starnes, known affectionately to friends and family as Frank, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 20, 2025. He was born on November 13, 1933, in Lorain, Ohio. Find obituaries from your high school Frank's early years were spent in Warren, Ohio where he was surrounded by a large and loving family. The son of the late Howard Oscar Starnes and Rozoltha Starnes, he grew up alongside his siblings, the late Virginia McNally, Harold Starnes, Howard Starnes, Clint Starnes, Sandra Starnes, and is survived by his brothers, George and Paul Starnes. After completing his education at Columbia University, Frank dedicated two years to serving his country in the US Army from 1955 to 1957. Following his military service, Frank embarked on a distinguished career with the US Postal Service, where he worked for 33 years. His roles as Branch Manager at the Warren and Austintown offices, Training Specialist in Cleveland, Ohio, and St. Louis, Missouri, showcased his leadership skills and commitment to excellence. Frank was known for his friendly demeanor and the mentorship he provided to countless colleagues over the years. Frank's interests were as varied as they were passionate. He was an avid tennis player, often found on the courts of Packard Park and Valhalla Sports Center, and he shared his love for the game with friends and family alike. His sense of humor shone through during lively card games, which were a staple at family gatherings. Frank's adventurous spirit led him on many road trips to visit his son in California, Utah, and Nevada. Each August, he made it a tradition to drive to New York City to immerse himself in the excitement of the US Open Tennis Championships. Above all, Frank was a man who embraced the journey of life with a smile and an open heart. As Mark Twain once said, 'The secret of getting ahead is getting started.' Frank took this advice to heart, continually seeking new experiences and cherishing each moment. We bid farewell to Franklin Dale Starnes, a beloved father, brother, and friend, secure in the knowledge that his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to cross his path. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten. A celebration of Frank's life will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at Giorgio's Ristorante in Niles, Ohio.
