Frank J. Bors Sr.

Frank J. Bors Sr. formerly of Emmaus, died Oct. 3, 2019. He was the beloved husband of the late Sandra A. “Sandy” Bors for 49 years. Born in Allentown, he was the son of the late Joseph A. and Viola M. (Bocklich) Bors.

He was a mechanic for Mack Trucks, Allentown and Macungie for 36 years, retiring in 2002. He was known as “Frank the Bank” by his peers due to the fact he always had change for the vending machines.

He was a lifetime member of The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, Emmaus.

His favorite things besides being with his grandchildren were walking at Trexler Park, Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market, Lehigh Valley and South Mall upon his retirement, meeting friends and family for dinner.

Jr.; granddaughter, Grace Lillian, both of Bethlehem Township; grandsons, Trent Anthony and Brandon Nathaniel, both of Allentown; brother, Joseph E. and his wife, Victoria, of Glen Burnie, Md.; sister-in-law, Dorothy L. and her husband, Leonard S.
