I worked for Frank during my late teens and early twenties. Once, during the middle of summer a customer returned a River Birch to the nursery. By anyone eyes, it looked dead. The tree had no leaves and the roots were exposed. After he gladly exchanged the tree for a "live" one, Frank told me to put it in a bucket, add dirt, and water. He explained that the customer didn't sufficiently water the tree and that a little TLC would bring the tree back to life. He never directly said so, but I knew he'd left nurturing this young tree to me.
So, day after day the tree sat between the greenhouse and the trailer. I made sure the tree had plenty of water and even added a little fertilizer from time to time. Then sure enough, after several weeks tiny new leaves sprung just as if it were the season of spring.
I find it fitting Frank's profession was that of a grocer and gardener because both encompass the fundamentals of a great person. Frank was giving and caring. Frank was a provider. Frank was honest and patient. Frank could inspire.
Soon after the leaves returned to this tree, Frank told me to take it home. I assumed it was his way of saying "job well done".
Some twenty years later that tree still thrives outside my dad's home. That tree will always remind me of Frank and the years I spent with him.

Fond memories of Frank each time we planted a new tree or flowers. He was the go-to guy with his nursery and quaint grocery store with a bank extension in the back. Also hosted, Larry's Meat Market and a floral shop. Frank had it all!
Frank had a witty sense of humor, usually muttering some uncanny, funny expression under his breath. Oft times, I'd "get" the joke hours later and laugh.
Frank and The Lone Star helped put Channahon on the map. To the Frank Pirc Famiily: so sorry for your loss.

He was a wonderful person and I know he will be missed. To Maureen and his family, please know I am so sorry for your loss. Cheryl

Our most sincere sympathy and prayers to you all. When we first moved to Hickory Land in 1977 we were surprised to find another Rockdale native. Frank was Larry's Mom's paper boy in Rockdale. He was always quick to say Hi and have a joke or story in the store or the neighborhood. He was a great guy. I am sure that Frank, Bill and Ambrose will be sharing those stories in heaven. Hickory Lane and so many neighbors will miss him.

Maureen and family, So sorry to hear the news. It's been so long since I have seen you but
I have nothing but pleasant memories of Frank. You were the first friends to get married and it is a tribute to both of you that you were still together. I hope the knowledge that so many people thought so much of Frank, care today about his passing , and your loving memories help . Don't forget to ttake care of yourselves at this difficult time, that's what Frank would want.

I will never forget you, Frank. My years at both stores were some of the best times of my life. You taught me to always do whatever you can for people. It was wonderful growing up with you and all the crazy, goofy jokes that you told and that goofy "up to no good" laugh you had. Channahon is a better place because of you and Maureen. One day we will all be together again and I promise I will laugh at those jokes instead of telling you how goofy you are!! XOXO
