FRANK M. VALORE

Age 78, of Mentor-on-the-Lake, died on Friday, October 14, 2022, at UH Cleveland Medical Center.  He was born on August 4, 1944, in Chardon, OH to Anthony and Leta Eloise “Bobbie” (nee: Smith) Valore and was raised in Chardon before moving to Lake County as a young boy. Frank graduated from Willoughby South High School in 1963 and enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving from 1965-1967. He married Karen M. Tompkins on September 30, 1967, in Mentor, OH.

Frank had worked in the maintenance department of Lubrizol, retiring in 1998. After finding retiring “boring”, he took a job at Cometic Gaskets in Concord, and retired again in 2018. He enjoyed duck hunting, fishing in the Great Lakes, and flats fishing in Texas. His family always came first, as he enjoyed coaching little league, watching baseball and football games, and especially the chats with his grandsons, Ryan and Anthony!

Survivors include his son, Todd (Victoria) Valore of Mentor, OH; daughter, Jennifer (Chris) Roberts of Painesville Twp; Grandsons, Ryan Valore and Anthony Roberts; step-sister, Valorie Hyett of Mentor, OH; and brother, George Curtiss of Stansbury Park, Utah.  He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, and brother, Pat Valore.
