Frank Stanfel, Jr., was born in Podgrad in what was then Austria. He was the oldest child of Frank and Ursula Stanfel. The family came to the United States in 1891, settling Calumet, Michigan, and the younger Frank was naturalized sometime before 1918. According to his World War I draft card, he was of medium height and build with brown hair and blue eyes.

Frank married Anna Struzel on June 2, 1915 in Calumet. Together, they had five children: Edward, James, Ann, Theresa, and Gertrude. Edward and Theresa preceded their father in death; Edward died of non-battle injuries in North Africa during World War II and Theresa died in infancy.

In his younger years, Frank worked as a janitor with the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company. He and his family appear to have been faithful attendees of St. Joseph's Church (now St. Paul's) in Calumet; his son Edward's name was displayed in the vestibule for his service, and Frank and Anna donated money in 1965 to decorate the church for its Diamond Jubilee.

Frank and Anna moved to Birmingham in Michigan's Lower Peninsula sometime before his death in 1977. He was survived by his wife and children James, Ann, and Gertrude. Frank's parents and his sisters Angela and Christine preceded him in death.
