Frank Shudak

The St. Albert family is saddened by the loss of Frank "Judy" Shudak.  Frank was a proud St. Albert Dad & Grandpa to so many in his family.  He's also an American War Hero as part of 'The Greatest Generation'.  Frank served on the USS Indiana in WW2 in the Pacific and was involved in many vicious battles.  If you want to see what it might have been like, watch the 2010 HBO mini-series, 'The Pacific'.  In addition, Frank became one of the top amateur boxers in the world, at a time when that really meant something big! Please remember & thank guys like Frank and their families for their service, please keep the entire Shudak family in your prayers this Memorial Day Weekend and please pray for the repose of Frank's soul...

Eternal rest grant unto Frank o' Lord: And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May Frank rest in peace. Amen

May Frank's soul and the soul's of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God our Father rest in peace. Amen
