Frank Covington Minshall, 57, a life-long resident of Columbia, passed away August 21, 2010 at his home. Private family services will be held at a later date. Frank was born on November 17, 1951 in St. Louis to William Minshall, Sr. and Ruth (Lewis) Minshall. He was a graduate from the University of Missouri with a master’s degree. Frank was a retired teacher with the Columbia Public School District. Survivors include his mother, Ruth Minshall of Altamonte Springs, FL; and two brothers, William (and Mabel) Minshall of Longwood, FL and Julian (and Susan) Minshall of St. Augustine, FL.
Frank and I worked together. He was always a friend to me. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. He was a gentle soul and he will be missed. My heart goes out to his family.
Frank was a good teacher and a good person. He touched the lives of many students.
Thanks Frank for brining Auggie to all the tailgates, we had a blast and good laughs. Also thanks for being so good to my kids Peyton and Jayce. you were and always be their Uncle Frank just like you were to Auggie. You will be miss forever. You are on of the greatest persons I have ever met.
Craig Thompson and family
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Frank’s death. I’ve thought about him often over the last four days. He was always one of my best buddies growing up all the way through college. I’ve seen him only a couple times in the last few years. Once at an MU game, another time I stayed at his place after a bike race. After much arm twisting, he came come down to St. Louis in January for a Superbowl Marauders Reunion. We all had a great time and I’m SO glad I got him to come.
Frank exemplified the saying “live and let live”. I will miss him. My condolences to Juilian, Bill and the rest of the family.
During WGHS, Meramec and Mizzou, Frank was a close friend. He was always sensitive, kind and witty. I’ll miss him dearly.
I’ll always have fond memories of Frank. He was a good friend and football buddy. As I think of “Croc Hunter” and “Jumanji”…
Thank you all for your kind words regarding Frank. He didn’t like to travel much so we did not see him very often but I have many fond memories of our childhood together. He marched to a different drummer and had a positive influence of many people. We will miss Frank.
I worked with Frank for many years at CPS and will miss him. He was a one of the good guys. My condolences to his family,
I was saddened to hear of Frank’s passing. Although we had grown apart over the years, there was a long period of time when Frank was like an older brother to me. We spent a lot of time together fishing, partying, and bickering. He was a unique person with a big heart. I know he will be missed.
I was also shocked and saddened to hear of Franks passing. We played ball together for many years at Blackburn Park, and drank much beer there and other places. He was a king and gentle soul and my condolences to the family. A kind and loving human being, he will be missed.
I knew Frank as he worked with the Secondary Learning Students and then Douglass. He was very interesting to talk to as we had many people in common to talk about also he live in the log cabin across from our place for a time. He was a good person and I’d like to talk to one of the family members at some time. Best to all of you….I have a feeling he went as he wanted and lived as he wanted. Hugs to all of you!
Frank was a great person and a great friend. My kids also called him “Uncle Frank.”I enjoyed going to Mizzou football games with him and listening to all his stories. He is now in Heaven eating his G&D pizza and watching Mizzou Football. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Frank & I met at JJC while he was teaching. He became a good friend, and often called upon me to do odd jobs when he needed repairs to home and mowers. We would talk of many things, sometimes his wishes of burial and distribution of property. I last visited with him on Aug. 12; I was shocked when I received the phone call on the 21st that he had passed. On the 12th he again mentioned his last wishes to me of a time when he would no longer be with us. I will truly miss him, he was a great friend, co worker. My deepest sympathy to his Mother, brothers * god-children.
I worked with Frank at JJC. Ironically, I thought about him last week and wondered how he was doing. A day or two later, I saw the obituary. He is a good guy and I am glad that I was lucky enough to have known him.
Frank was one of a kind. I knew him during my years at Mizzou. We had so many laughs together. We lost touch over the years but whenever we would bump into each other it was like time hadn’t passed. I am amazed to read some names here that I know from other places and did not know they knew Frank. He will be missed.
What a truly honest giving person ole Frank was! I will forever cherish my fishing trips and conversations I had with him. I will also never forget talking sports and playing kickball with him, Tim, and Eric on the job at JJC! Forever remembered big buddy!!!
I was saddened to see of Frank’s passing in the recent Missouri Alumni Magazine. I had not seen Frank since high school back in Webster Groves despite our both attending Mizzou. I will always remember what a great athelete he was back when we played SYB League baseball together as kids. Even then, he was a class guy. I regret not reconnecting with him later in life.
Eurozone frontrunners upon Thurs opted for any mopping package which will offer Portugal an enormous brand-new bailout — however likely allow it to be the initial euro region to be able to go into default — and drastically restore your foreign currency union’s rescue pay for, letting it to work pre-emptively any time downturn develop.
An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I feel that you must write extra on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic but generally persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
Bahh a volte non vi capisco usqete a mio parere sono immagini in game precalcolate, e della Wii.Anche perch un fottuto 360 fa decisamente di meglio.finalmente qualcosa di veramente decente a livello tecnico. Mario Galaxy e molto curato come titolo, ma altrettanto poco ricco di particolari e nemici su schermo. ma questo e voluto ovviamente come tutti i mario in 3D.Niente di cui sbalordirsi, e quello che avrebbero dovuto fare dall’inizio.Anche se devo ancora papire come ditte come la Capcom che ha sfornato RE4 su Gamecube, non riesca a proporre un titolo devente a distanza di 3 anni sulla Wii, contando che il Kit di sviluppo sostanzialmente e lo stesso.
