Frank Pawlowski, 90, of Northvale, NJ passed away peacefully on January 21, 2025 after a long illness. He was born at home on January 1, 1935 in Hoboken, NJ to the late John and Helen Pawlowski, and proudly stated that Frank Sinatra\u2019s mother, Dolly Sinatra, delivered him as a midwife and suggested his name. Frank was the fourth of seven siblings growing up in the Depression Era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank was married to the late Erna Pawlowski (nee Gress) for 49 years up to her passing in 2005. He was very proud that he raised twin boys and a daughter and loved his 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren (with one more on the way in Feb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank was extremely proud of his 3-year enlistment in the US Army, 101st<\/sup> Airborne Division, which resulted in him being station at the 38th<\/sup> parallel in Korea during the later years of the war. The highlight of his deployment was when he was selected to dine with Marilyn Monroe during one of her tours, because ofhis exceptional conduct as a soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being honorably discharged from the military, Frank embarked on a 25-year career at The Ford Motor Company in the Mahwah assembly plant followed by a 33-year career with the US Post Office, retiring at the age of 81. At the Post Office, Frank quickly rose the ranks from carrier to Post Master of the Alpine branch. He was also President of the local association of postal supervisors, known as NAPS. On the side, he was a licensed real estate agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank was\u00a0a go-getter and was always looking to improve himself. He had a keen focus on driving to his goals that advanced his situation,\u00a0so he could be the best provider for his family.\u00a0He\u00a0was friends to everyone and was always\u00a0seen wearing a suit and tie.\u00a0Frank enjoyed reading history books and watching documentaries, especially those pertaining to WWII.\u00a0He\u00a0loved the Frank Sinatra song \u201cMy Way\u201d and\u00a0had\u00a0a strong relationship to the lyrics as\u00a0he\u00a0felt it described the challenges and successes\u00a0in\u00a0his life.\u00a0He was very proud of his Polish heritage and was quick to display it, but was always an American first.\u00a0Frank religiously attended services at St Anthony RC in Northvale.\u00a0Frank was always busy\u00a0and tookgreat pride in\u00a0impeccably\u00a0maintaining the outside of his\u00a0home and\u00a0his Ford\/Lincoln\u00a0vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank will be missed by his family and all who knew him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funeral services were private. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
