MARCH 31 • 2022 | 107

F

rank Peter Kaszynski, 
80, of Detroit, was 
born on March 23, 
1942. He passed away peace-
fully and was surrounded by 
his loving family and dearest 
friends on March 17, 2022. 
Frank was Head of 
the X-ray Technology 
Department at Alexander 
Blaine Memorial Hospital. 
After retirement, he pursued 
his love for architecture, 
design, history and antiq-
uities. His passions led him 
to create Edmund Frank & 
Associates, which was estab-
lished 46 years ago with his 
beloved partner of 30 years 
Edmund Traver. Together 
their business flourished in 
the Detroit Metro area. 

Frank was a member of 
the Historic Boston-Edison 
Association and frequently 
hosted events, Christmas 
tours and parties at his 
beautiful home on West 

Boston Boulevard. He took 
pride in hosting cast parties 
and small private concerts 
for the Michigan Opera 
Theater.
From the time Frank was 
born, he was loved by his 
family and friends for his 
humor, wit and passion for 
life and learning. He would 
want his friends and cus-
tomers to know how much 
they were loved and cher-
ished by him.
Frank was predeceased 
by his parents, Frank and 
Cecelia Kaszynski; broth-
er, Michael Kaszynski, and 
partner, Edmund Traver. 
He is survived by his sis-
ter, Marcy Gumbel (Greg); 
nieces, Michelle (Joe) 

and Riley; sister in-law, 
Gina Kaszynski; nephews, 
Michael Jr. (Stephanie) and 
Andrew; nieces, Jennifer 
Andersen (Roy) and Ashley; 
goddaughters, Liane (Karas) 
Benventi and Diana Casetti; 
stepson, Shawn Traver (Liz); 
his grandchildren, Shane 
and Sarah.
In lieu of a traditional 
memorial service, Frank 
requested a private celebra-
tion of life and would be 
appreciative of being hon-
ored in your hearts and in 
your memories whenever 
you think of him. Whether 
you knew Frank for a few 
minutes or several years, he 
left an impression and/or a 
lifelong friendship.
