Frank C. Hann, age 94, of Louisville, OH was called home to be with his Lord and Savior and to join his wife Caroline, on Friday, August 2, 2024.  He was born in Canton, OH to the late Franz and Cornelia Hann on November 24, 1929.

He was a 1947 Canton McKinley graduate. Those that knew Frank, knew he was a trumpet player, and he was still able to play his high school fight song and alma mater until his passing.  He met and married the love of his life, Caroline Kraft in 1953 soon after his discharge from the Navy and they enjoyed 68 years together.  They spent their entire lives doing everything together, especially attending church, playing music, singing, and dancing.   Everything Frank did he did with energy and a smile. When asked, “how are you doing?” he always would answer, “fantastic”, earning him the nickname, “Fantastic Frank”.  He enjoyed gardening and sharing the fruits of his labor, and he loved being active whether it was golfing, bowling, softball, cornhole, pickleball or shuffleboard to name only a few.  Frank served in the US Navy as an electrician’s mate which led him into his lifelong career as an electrician and member of the Local IBEW 540 and eventually became the Stark County Electrical Inspector. Frank was a 70-year member of the IBEW, The Gideon’s, the Toastmaster’s, Nimishillen Grange, actively served in the Stark Co. 4-H program and was a member of Christ Church of Louisville.

Frank is survived by his son, David (Dee) Hann of Greenville, SC, and two daughters, Linda (Jim) Silver of Wooster, OH, and Julie (Russ) Hoff of Valdosta, GA, and daughter-in-law, Carol Hann of North Canton, OH.  He also leaves 14 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren with another one on the way. Frank was preceded in death by his wife Caroline, his parents, one son, Stephen, and both of his siblings.
