He died where he wanted to, at home, surrounded by his loving wife and family. Frank was born in Spokane, on July 26, 1925, to Paul and Mildred Johnson. He was the eldest of four children. He came to Wenatchee in 1944, to pick apples. He loved the valley so much, he made it his home. He often quipped that he "never made enough money picking, to leave the Valley." He eventually became a meat cutter with Ken Carmody at Union Safeway in south Wenatchee. In 1950, he married Gwen Dean and they settled in East Wenatchee on an apple orchard. Frank was not content to just grow apples, he also had a large shop where he manufactured various orchard equipment, most notably, the Gyro and Genie, a hydraulic lift machine used to pick fruit that eventually was licensed to Besler Corporation in Oakland, CA. In the late 60's, Frank rebuilt the Appleland Fruit Stand on Highway 28, just south of East Wenatchee. His children spent many fun summers in the orchard, learning to drive the jeep and riding horses or bikes to work. Well, the kids did not always appreciate all of the orchard work, but Frank enjoyed having his family around and teaching them. In 1973, Frank began to develop the orchard into the Riverside Mobile Home Park. He also developed many pieces of property and made beautiful wrought iron creations, which can be found all over the Valley. Frank believed in hard work and fair pay. Frank built the family home on Eastmont Avenue in 1956, where he often commented on the beautiful view and the changing scenery of each season. He was known for, and extremely talented in, making various recreational machines and fun stuff for the family, including the infamous "Moon Rover", a go-cart enjoyed by all ages. Frank was a member of the East Wenatchee Rotary Club for 25 years, serving as 2nd president. He also served on the East Wenatchee Water District Board for 25 years. In 1980, Frank retired and enjoyed traveling and spending time visiting his family. He was a member of the Brethren Baptist Church. Frank was preceded in death by his parents; and his two brothers, Wes Johnson and Bob Johnson; and his sister, Donna Schaefer. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Gwen; and his children, Skip (Cindy) Johnson, Jeanne (Tim) Griffin and Dena Johnson, all of East Wenatchee. He is also survived by his three loving grandchildren, Holly and Daniel Griffin and Colton Johnson. Also his four legged buddies, Annie Lou and Roo. The family wishes to express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Mitchell Garrison, Theresa and all the staff in the Oncology Department at Wenatchee Valley Medical Center and to Dr. Richard Williams and staff at the East Wenatchee Clinic, for the excellent care Frank received. A special thank you for the care provided by Hospice, especially to Trisha Ward! A Memorial Service will take place on Saturday, November 10, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. at Telford's Chapel of the Valley. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Mastocytosis Society or the Good Grief Center.
