Francis Supak Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 5, 2017.

Mr. Francis Joseph Supak of Gonzales passed away at his home on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at the age of 74. He was born November 25, 1942 in Moulton to the late Frank Supak and Annie (Haba) Supak. Frankie Joe is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Barbara Supak; three children, Sharon Stevens and husband Scott Stevens of Victoria Texas, Cindy Burke of Houston Texas, and Joey Supak of Nashville, Tennessee; five grandchildren, Michelle Burke Turek and husband Michael Turek, Christina Burke Matula and husband Brian Matula, Paige Stevens Baros and husband Brice Baros, Madalyn West, and Brayden Supak; and five great-grandchildren, Jackson Matula, Lilee Matula, Casen Matula, Cam Turek, and Jase Baros.
Frankie Joe was a 1961 graduate of Moulton High School. He was married in 1961 to Barbara Ann Krametbauer of Moulton. They resided in Gonzales after marriage where Frankie Joe started a long-standing tenure at JB White Company located in downtown Gonzales for nearly 30 years. After a career change in 1993, he began yet another long-standing career in the car industry with John Whitt Chevrolet, Quality Chevrolet and West Motors where he served the South Central Texas until his retirement in 2014.
While in the car industry, Frankie Joe was recognized on numerous occasions and received several awards for outstanding sales achievements.
Some of his favorite activities were gardening, reading, fishing, square dancing, tending to his farm animals, giving away his home-grown vegetables to family and friends, along with drinking coffee with his buddies at the Cow Palace each morning.
Just ask anyone and they would tell you that Frankie Joe's proudest achievement throughout his career and life was his family.

Supak Family, so sorry for your loss, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you and give you the guidance and strength you need in the difficult days that lie ahead.
Mr. Supak was a natural born salesman, many a school year shopping for school clothes at JB White's...It's almost like I can hear him asking you need a new pair of shoes or some socks?
Cindy, I hope life has been good to you and yours. He will always be close in your hearts...
With deepest sympathy,
