Frank Gleiforst

Frank died at home on October 16th just a few days shy of a year since the passing of his wife Trudy. He was 81 years old and would be proud to say that and kept his driver's license until a week before he passed. Throughout his life drove all kinds of construction trucks, snowplows and wreckers and loved taking road trips.

Frank was a Colorado native who lived in Redcliff and Canon City growing up, raised his family in Frisco and then retired to Fairplay.

While he is best known for his stories, he also loved to take his boat out fishing on Eleven Mile Reservoir. He was proud to have been in the 101 Airborne in the Army in 1962-1965 and made 86 parachute jumps.

Frank made friends wherever he went and was often referred to as Santa Claus, not just for his big white beard and round belly but also his kind and caring manner.

He is proceeded in death by his parents, three brothers and his dear wife Trudy of 54 years.

He is survived by his daughter Lisa Giberson, son-in-law Clint, grandkids Calvin and Hobbes of Frisco, son Merle Gleiforst and daughter-in-law Catherine of Littleton and Granddaughter Krista Gleiforst of Los Alamos, NM and so many nieces and nephews.

Please join us for a celebration of life and share your stories about Frank and Trudy.

Service will be held at Rocky Mountain Bible Church in Frisco, CO on Saturday, October 30th at 12:30 pm with food and fellowship to follow.
