Youngstown Vindicator Memorial Obituary:
YOUNGSTOWN – Franklin Daniel Ansevin died peacefully with his loving family at his bedside on Oct. 30, 2010, at the age of 96.
Franklin was born Aug. 5, 1914, in Youngstown, the son of Concetta and Crescenzo Anzivino.
He married the former Joan Elaine Brenner on July 11, 1947, and was a lifelong Youngstown resident.
Franklin went to work with his brother, Carl, after their father died when he was nine years old to support his family in Brier Hill. He graduated from The Rayen School in 1932.
He was drafted into World War II. On induction to the U.S. Army, he did quite well on testing, especially in mathematics. He was sent to officer's candidate school. Because of his mathematical skills, he graduated as an artillery officer and was sent to the front lines as a forward observer with a walkie-talkie and gun. He cited enemy targets and did the math and gave coordinates for accurate shelling.
He landed at Normandy on D-Day with the First Army under General George Bradley. He was under George C. Scott as a Battalion Commander in the Battle of the Bulge in southern France. There was a high mortality rate, and he finished the war as a captain.
He returned to Youngstown where he worked at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube as a foreman and supervisor in the seamless pipe mill. He took pride in his work, where they made the "finest seamless pipe in the world" and retired in 1976 after more than 40 years of service.
He was a member of Leffingwell Hills Country Club and enjoyed golf. He was an avid gardener, real estate and stock market investor and read The Vindicator and The Wall Street Journal religiously. He actively helped develop Timberbrook Inc. in Boardman.
He was a very kind and loving father who worked diligently to support his family. He was extremely honest, recognized the value of education and always supported his children. He was devoted to his beloved wife, whom he cared for at home faithfully.
He leaves his beloved wife of 63 years, Joan; his five children, Dr. Carl Franklin Ansevin, Jill (Nick Simeone) Ansevin and Jane (Jim) Begala of Boardman, Gary (Teri) Ansevin of Laguna Hills, Calif., and Janet Kay of Palo Alto, Calif. He leaves 10 grandchildren, Franklin, Carl Daniel (Janiece), Brian and Craig Ansevin; Christopher and Anthony Ansevin and Jennifer (Joe) Ceja; Beth and David Kay; and Gina Kimble. He has three great-grandchildren with one on the way.
He leaves his sister, Virginia Kohut of Austintown; and was predeceased by his brothers, Carl W. Ansevin and Dominic; and sisters Rose Pandone, Mary Anzivino, Annette Basset and Clementine Simone. He also leaves many nieces, nephews, great and great-great-nieces and nephews.
The family would like to especially thank Dr. Charles Wilkins and St. Elizabeth's Health Center, the staff and caregviers for their excellent and compassionate care.
Calling hours will be Tuesday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at Fox Funeral Home, 4700 Market St.
There will be prayers at 9:45 a.m. Wednesday at the funeral home celebrated by the Rev. Gregory Maturi, O.P., followed by services at St. Dominic's Church at 10:30 a.m.
He will be buried at Calvary Cemetery with military honors.
