Frank "Frankie" J. Pomprowitz Jr., 80, of Sobieski, passed away Saturday, December 28, 2024, at his home. The son of Frank Sr. and Stella (Revolinski) Pomprowitz was born on March 24, 1944.

Frankie was a lifelong Sobieski resident and graduated from Pulaski High School with the class of 1962. His father served as an essential part in the Little Suamico Fire Department in purchasing the department's first fire truck; Frankie later joined the fire department himself.  Following in his father's footsteps, Frankie was a service provider to farmers, small businesses, and homeowners.

Together Frankie and his dad picked pickles, worked the land for local farmers, cut brush in the ditches for the town, and hauled cattle locally.  Frankie picked and hauled sweet corn for several local canning factories. Frankie ran the town dump and surrounding communities' recycling centers. He offered door to door garbage pick-up along with dumpster rentals. He plowed snow for local businesses and townspeople for years.  He also ground waste wood, sold landscaping materials, hauled logs, and had several dump trucks over the years.  Frankie's roots ran deep in his community and his roots were embedded as a service provider.

Frankie enjoyed polka bands and polka music very much.  He loved the sound of a good sounding motor driving down the road.  A people person at heart, he thoroughly enjoyed other people's company: BS'ing with people is what he loved the most and he was very good at it.

Survivors include his two children: Sara (Bill) Seiltz and Michael (Jolene) Pomprowitz; two stepsons: Kevin Waskowiak and Brian (Tiffany) Waskowiak; seven grandchildren: Zac (Liz) Seiltz, Heather (Cody) VanGheem, Hayley Seiltz, Jacob Seiltz, Jaxton Pomprowitz, Hank Waskowiak, and Lola Waskowiak; five great-grandchildren: Brantley, Sawyer, Tucker, Eleanore, Emmareen; and cousin, Karen Ronsman (Jim DeGreef).

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Sr. and Stella, and aunts and uncles.
