68. Sigmund Frank "Sig" REED (Louis James , Jakob , Valentine , Johannes Chrysostumus , Adalbertus ) was born on 23 Apr 1905 in Toledo, OH. He died on 10 Dec 1980 in San Pablo, CA. He was buried in San Bruno, CA / Golden Gate Cemetery.
Sigmund Frank FRANKOWSKI legally changed his surname to REED. He left Toledo, OH circa 1935 for California. My father (Albin FRANKS) said that Sig asked his brothers and sister for money to help finance the trip; however, no one was in a position in those times to float a loan. This led to a falling out between Sig and the rest of the family remaining in Toledo. It was not until 1959 that my father spoke again with this brother on a trip to California. They stayed in close touch thereafter.
Sig married Selma Marie STEEN "Sally" about 1940 in California. Sally was born on 15 Oct 1905 in Minnesota. She died on 13 Apr 1983 in San Pablo, CA. She was buried in San Bruno, CA / Golden Gate Cemetery.

Albin Franks Was Chef at Several Hotels in City
Albin A. Franks, 83, formerly of Yosemite Drive, who worked as a chef at most of downtown Toledo's historic hotels, died Wednesday in the Heartland of Perrysburg, where he lived since October, 1994. Mr. Franks, who also was a re-tired tool and die maker and his neighborhood's popular handyman, suffered from Alzheimer's disease, but had lived independently in his home until recently, said his eldest son, David Franks. A graduate of Woodward High School, Mr. Franks spent his earliest childhood years at the former Miami Children's Home, Maumee. "He returned to his own home at about age 13," his son recalled. "His mother was deceased, but I think he picked up cooking from his father. He became a chef at the old Commodore Perry Hotel, the Secor Hotel, the Hillcrest, and at Angelo's Spaghetti House." In the early 1950s, Mr. Franks became manager of the downtown Toledo YMCA grill. During World War II, he worked at the former Willys-Overland Corp. as an inspector on the final assembly line for Jeeps, continuing until the end of the Korean Conflict. Most recently, he was with the former Tilenious & Randolph Co., Canton Avenue, as a tool and diemaker. After retirement in 1977, his father never lacked for occupation, David Franks said. He was highly popular neighborhood handyman, and often did not charge for his services, his son said. Mr. Franks had helped build his own bungalow, and made it a showplace of flowers and shrubbery. He tried very hard to continue living independently after he became ill, his son added. For 45 years, he was married to the late Virginia Harriet Brown of Maumee. She died in 1982. 'My parents traveled a lot, and took their four sons with them," David Franks recalled. "At first it was by train, then bus, and finally by car." He said he never forgot one of the early 1950s trips in the family auto, loaded with luggage and six people. "We traveled to Thompson's Canyon and it gave me my first impression of the Rockies - 7,000 miles in five weeks." Mr. Franks became a prize-winning amateur photographer, maintained his own darkroom, and had a large collection of pictures, slides, and movies, his son said. "My father truly was a first-class person. Always a smile on his face, and he loved to tell jokes." Mr. Franks was a member of Park Congregational Church and the men's "Alley Oops" maintenance and repair crew for many years. Also surviving are sons Gary, Neal, and Dennis, and six grandchildren. Services will be at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the Maison-Dardenne Funeral Home, Maumee. The family requests tributes to Park Congregational Church.
