Frank "Bud" Bomberg, 83, of Florence, Wis., passed away on Wednesday, April 7, 2010, at the Golden Living Center, Florence. He was born August 16, 1927, in Commonwealth, Wis., son of the late Clarence and Eva (La Chapelle) Bomberg. Frank graduated from Florence High School, Class of 1945. He married Edith Dumke on November 14, 1947; she preceded him in death on October 20, 1966. Frank then married Rosie McCraw-Roberts on February 12, 1983; she preceded him in death on February 5, 2001. It's not often you are lucky enough to find two beautiful, caring women to love you, but such was his fate. He attended Carroll College for several years and served in the United States Army from June 1948 to June 1952. He was in the occupation of Japan and was recalled to serve in the Korean War. Frank returned home to his wife and family and spent several years working in Milwaukee. When his father became ill in 1953, Frank was asked to come home to run the family business, Tippy's Bar & Bowl. He ran Tippy's with his wife, Edith, until his brother, Paul, was discharged from the army, at which time Paul joined Edith and Frank. It was always a fun time at the bar, and people made sure they were there once a month to enjoy the stein party. While owning Tippy's, Frank had the bragging rights for having bowled a 734 series, which is the highest series ever recorded at the alleys. His grandson, Peter, has topped that record several times since. In 1965, Frank left the family business and went to work for Niagara Paper Mill, until his retirement in 1987. He was always a quiet man, but he always had a twinkle in his eye when his grandchildren were around. He is survived by his son, Dale Bomberg (Jane Frieburg), Verona, Wis.; daughter, Connie (Bomberg) Falk, Green Bay, Wis.; sisters, Della (Don) Cero, St. Charles, Ill., Patsy (Folke) Johanssen, New York, N.Y., Marilyn (Garth) Harrison, Fence, Wis.; brother, Paul (Mary Jo) Bomberg, Florence; grandsons, Peter Falk (Tammy Petrowsky) Racine, Wis., Justin (Susan) Bomberg, Madison, Wis.; granddaughters, Dawn (Matt Prater) Falk, Racine, Katie (John) Zapfel, Milwaukee, Wis.; great-grandchildren, Aurora Falk, Vienna Bomberg, Sabrina Bomberg, Leo Zapfel, Zora Beach, Spencer Beach; step-sons, Roger (Krista) Roberts, Mike (Joleen) Roberts, Wally (Missy) Roberts, Greg (Brenda) Roberts; step-daughter, Vicky (Gordy) Crevier; 11 step-grandchildren and three step great-grandchildren. Besides his wives, Edith and Rosie, Frank was preceded in death by his father, Clarence, on May 15, 1955, and his mother, Eva, on May 16, 1979. Frank shall now find his peace and happiness with God in heaven.
