Thoughts and prayers to you at this hard time.
I am a distant cousin of Frank from St. Paul Mn. Remember him as a young boy when he came to our house. Our father’s were brothers. Frank and all who love him are in my prayers.
LuElla Eggenberger (Prax) Louis was my father.
Regarding Frank and Louis A. Prax. I am writing in reply to your condolences left on the passing of Frank Jr, Prax. I too am a Prax descendant. My mother, Adeline (Prax) Olson, was one of Frank Jr’s many sisters. I am writing to try to understand more of my grandfather, Frank Prax Sr. Your condolences mentioned your father was Frank Sr’s Brother, Louis. I grew up knowing nothing of my grandfather – specifically who were his parents, brothers or sisters. If you would be kind enough to share with me and/or if you are interested in knowing more of Frank Sr’s descendants I would be very grateful to share. A family member of mine has been working on genealogy and ancestry. We have HUGE blanks on the Prax side. Thank you!! kimzimm43@gmail.com
I am a first cousin of Franks – my father was Louis A Prax. I remember my brothers Arnie and Larry talking about Frank and hanging out on Payne Ave in St Paul when they were in their teens. Frank and Arnie were close to the same age and were pretty good buddies until Frank joined the Air Force. I am about 10 younger than Frank, so I don’t remember much about him. My family and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to his family on his recent death. May Frank rest in Peace.
