Charles “Chuck” Frondal, 82, died on August 2, 2023, after a long 3-year battle with cancer. He was born on March 18, 1941, on a farm near Albert Lea, Minnesota, the son of Henry S. and Ester (Christiansen) Frondal. He attended Albert Lea High School, class of 1959. He married Ann Galbraith on October 8, 1961, and spent 61 years together. Chuck retired in 2000 after working 34 years at Chrysler.
His greatest joy was spending time with his family and grandchildren. He also loved doing wood projects and building old cars with his son Mark. For 17 years, Chuck and Ann were able to go to Gold Canyon, Arizona for the winter, where they lived on the fourth hole and golfed 3-4 times each day and enjoyed many new friends they met there. His daughter Julie and granddaughter Hannah helped him finish his last puzzle.
A special thank you to OSF Hospice for their wonderful care. Thanks to all who called, sent cards, and remembered us in their prayers.
