Services were 10:30 a.m. Friday at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Anthon, Iowa. Burial was at Mount St. Joseph Cemetery in Anthon, with military graveside honors provided by the American Legion, McNiff Post 389 of Anthon. Francis "Frank" was born in Anthon to William and Virgie (Thompson) Eickholt on Oct. 8, 1936. He graduated from Anthon High School in May, 1955. He joined the U.S. Army a week later. Frank spent 18 months in Korea. He married Marlene Osipowicz on Feb. 15, 1958, at St. Joseph Church in Anthon. As he was still in the Army at the time, they moved to Nokesville, Va. After discharge from the Army in May 1958, he worked construction and at a feed company in Kansas and Iowa. On Feb. 29, 1960, he and Marlene moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked for Royal Typewriter Company and started his career repairing and selling office equipment. He worked for Royal Typewriter Company in Cleveland until April 1962, then transferred with Royal to Omaha. In the early 70s, Frank, along with partners, bought Acme Typewriter Company. Frank eventually became the sole owner of the company. He sold the business in 1989, but worked for the new owner until June 1991. Frank and Marlene moved to Royal Palm Beach, Fla., where he repaired and installed telephone equipment for Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, Fla. In 1996, he retired and they moved to Highlands Ranch, Colo. He did not like retirement and continued working at the high school and middle school as a security guard. Frank thoroughly enjoyed working with the teens and they loved having him there. In 2003, Frank and Marlene both retired and moved to Cherokee, Iowa. Frank enjoyed working with his tools and fishing. He also enjoyed watching the birds and other wildlife. Frank made walking sticks and gave them away to family and friends. His greatest enjoyment, however, was his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Frank is survived by his wife of 51 years, Marlene; three daughters, Rebecca (LaVerne) Tradel of Traer, Iowa, Beth (Adam) Itchkawich of Highlands Ranch, Colo., Barbara (Matthew) Gill of Urbandale, Iowa; one son, Brent (Tina) Eickholt of Seaside, Calif.; eight grandchildren, Ryan Weatherill, Angela Gramlich and husband, Mike, Tasha Thayer and husband, Thomas, Steven Eickholt, Tyler Gill, Brittany Eickholt, Megan Itchkawich and Seth Tradel; two great-grandchildren, Courtney Nelson and Nicholas Thayer; and siblings, Alice (Kenneth) Bunnell of Anthon, Bill (Phyllis) Eickholt of Cherokee and Walter (Esther) Eickholt of Carson, Iowa.
