Jakubs. Family and friends lost a wonderful man when Frank Jakubs, 83, died unexpectedly, while sleeping next to Grace, nee Piorkowski, his wife of 55 years, on Feb. 10, 2012, at his home in Fountain Hills, AZ. Sharing devastation are daughters, Bonnie (Mike Perkins), Donna (Dave Rankhorn) and Linda (Bill Wigoda), all of the Chicago area; predeceasing Frank were his parents, Stephen and Pauline Jakubowski, nee Urbaniak; cherished sister, Esther Maksym (Edward and beloved nephew, James Maksym. Frank leaves to mourn him, his brother-in-law, Edward Maksym, nephew, Edward Maksym, niece, Barbara Bulanda (John); nieces-in-law, Linda Maksym (James) and Irene Maksym; and step-grandson, Andrew Wigoda.
Frank was born Dec. 3, 1928, in Chicago, grew up on the south side of the city, attended St. Joseph Grammar School and Lindblom High School, where he excelled in academics and sports. He graduated with a degree in Accounting from DePaul University, where he was a brother in Phi Kappa Alpha and honed what became a lifelong gift for up a dance floor. After serving in the Air Force, he married Grace, moved to Lincolnwood and later to Lake Forest where he resided for 30 years.
He received a Degree in Business with Honors from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management. As twice-past commander of American Legion Post 1226 (Lincolnwood), Frank continued his commitment to our country and its service people. His broad-based business experience encompassed controllership at Lake Forest School of Management, Link America Corporation and Lyon-Healy, and financial management for Abbott Laboratories and Lake Forest Symphony Orchestra. As an adjunct professor at Columbia College at Fort Sheridan, he taught undergraduate students in accounting, finance and tax courses and was singled out by students for his efforts to pull each individual up to his and her academic potential. After retirement, Frank and Grace relocated to Fountain Hills in 1997, where Frank pursued global travels, volunteer service and outdoor activities with the same enthusiasm that he chased rebounds on the basketball court while in high school.
He served as treasurer of Kiwanis Club of Fountain Hills, Golden Eagle Foundation, Fountain Hills Civic Association and Fountain Hills Community Theater. For more than a dozen years he channeled his love of music, understanding of the financial needs of musical organizations and his outgoing personality toward raising funds for the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra by volunteering in sales at the Gift Shop. He was loved by many and will be missed by all. In lieu of flowers, and to honor Frank, donations may be made to the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, One North First Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85004 or Kiwanis Club of Fountain Hills, P.O. 17831, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269.
