As a teacher and sports coach, he touched the lives of generations of students when he began teaching in his hometown of Glidden. As a businessman and executive director of both the Ashland Area and Park Falls Area Development Corporations, Skip demonstrated a keen business sense and managerial ability. He owned and operated many businesses such as Kempf’s Transportation, Kempf’s Sales and Service Auto Parts, Skip’s Amoco, and Black Bear Roller Rink. In his free time, Skip stayed active in the community and lives of his neighbors. He co-founded the Glidden Little and Pony Leagues, participated as a Parish Council Member at his church, trained as a volunteer firefighter, lead the Glidden Area Historical Society as president, and helped restore the Historical Museum. He was recognized for his impact in the community when he was named the Person of the Year by the Ashland Chamber of Commerce and elected to the Ashland County Board of Supervisors. Frank enjoyed playing with his grandchildren, spending time with his family at the lake, and making others laugh. Though he died on May 8th, 2019, Skip will be remembered for his impact in Glidden and all of northern Wisconsin, for his sense of humor and ability to fix anything that was broken, and the legacy of being a kind, giving person who never thought twice before helping out anywhere he could in the community.
