RICHARD E. FRANDSEN

Richard E. Frandsen was born in Redmond, Utah, on Oct. 7, 1922. He was raised in Provo, but in 1952 he moved to Springville.

He met his wie Louise Shepherd at Springville’s Park Ro-She Roller Rink and they raised their four children in the Brookside subdivision where he still resides at age 98. Louise passed away in 2015 after 67 years of marriage.

Frandsen is a World War II veteran and served in the South Pacific Solomon Islands from 1941 to 1944 in the Marine Corps. After returning home and getting married, Richard worked different jobs and ended up at Tooele Army Depot.

Frandsen worked for more than 20 years as a heavy machinery mechanic; tanks and heavy equipment were his specialties. He had a love of learning and was always taking night classes to further his education and keep up with mechanics’ changing times.

Frandsen was often seen with his head under the hood of family and friend’s cars. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix. He was never afraid of hard work or getting dirty.

Frandsen loved to camp, fish, and hunt with his family, spending most of his time outdoors. He is a generous man with love for his family and church.

He also has a deep love and respect for his country and the freedoms he fought for.

To this day, you never see him look at a flag without tears in his eyes. In addition to his four children, Frandsen has 12 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren.
