Obituary For Frank R. Wielock III

December 24, 1954 - October 15, 2017

Wielock, Frank R. III December 24, 1954-October 15, 2017 In the blink of an eye, our lives have been forever changed. Frank, age 62 of Arlington, went quickly to be with those that we love of our past. Born Christmas Eve 1954, he was the best Christmas present to his parents, the late Frank and June (Ahernholtz) Wielock. In the autumn sunshine he married the love of his life, Donna Grace (McAfee) where they have made a life dedicated to their family for nearly 32 years. A father some say by unconventional means, he took three Italian-American kids for his own, gave them a Polish last name, and taught them about the need for fresh kielbasa on holidays. He will be forever missed by "his" kids, Sue Wielock, Georgean (Eddie) Orr, and Christopher (Alicia) Wielock. With all this Frank would tell you his best days were yet to come. It happened on March 9th 2011 when his first grandchild and best buddy Grant Orr was born. A mere 23 months later his heart was even bigger when his granddaughter and princess, Gillian Grace Orr made her entrance. In such a small time, the trio made a million memories that no one could ever replace. A great man he was the doting big brother of Jackie (Dave) Wierzchowski; Kathy Singer; John (Debbie); Robert (Annette); Bill (Bobbi); and Dawn (Rich) Bowen and a pretty awesome brother-in-law to Clifford (Linda) and James (Patty) McAfee. Frank is also survived by many nieces, nephews, family, friends, and very special neighbors. Friends will be received at the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 from 2-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Thursday morning at 10:15. Mass of Christian Burial in St. Sylvester Church at 11:00 a.m. A modest and simple man, in lieu of flowers, Frank would ask you to be kind to your neighbor, enjoy a cold one, and if the moment hits you, don't be afraid to put on Salt-N-Peppa's "Shoop" song and do the dance in his memory. Until we meet again, be in peace. We already miss you so much.

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I can remember great conversations with your dad while he sat on the porch waiting for school to let out. May he rest in peace.

    A wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather and neighbor. My life was enriched just by knowing that when he was outside and I went out he was quick with a wave or an "Hello". I was blessed to have known him. He will be missed by many !
