Frank Real
August 25, 1939 ~ April 5, 2014 (age 74) 74 Years OldShare Tribute:
Frank was a California native and resident of Huntington Beach and other fun destinations. Frank passed away on April 5, 2014. He was comforted at home per his wishes. He was cared for with the love and support of his friends and family.
Frank was a toddler when he lost his Father Atanasio. He was raised by his Mother Frances and Brother Carlos. They lived a hard life. Thru hard work and determination, he overcame the obstacles of his younger years. He learned many of his strong traits from his years as a Boy Scout.
He worked his way thru school performing well in academics and athletics. Frank retired as a Sales Manager with over 30 years of service at Pacific Bell.
Frank was a loving Father to his 3 sons, Frank Jr., Phil and Dan. Dad and his boys shared many memorable trips and experiences together. His favorites were camping in the mountains, riding dirt bikes in Baja and the deserts of So Cal. Surfing, diving and fishing the Baja Peninsula, playing at the ranch, attending the Winter Olympics, vacations across the USA and Puerto Rico, ski trips to Mammoth and the annual family gatherings in Palm Springs.
His son Phil preceded him in death in the year 1992. The loss of Phil changed his life forever. In honor of Phil, he guided the effort to build a church in Mexico.
Frank spent decades working and playing on his properties. After 42 years of waiting for a Grandchild, he was finally blessed with one. That event also changed his life. He began to spend more time courtside cheering for his Granddaughter than working on the ranch or fishing and diving in Baja.
‘Tata’, as he was known by his Granddaughter Alyssa, enjoyed a life of diverse and close friendships in the USA and Mexico. His friendships spanned decades. He enjoyed his fraternity of brotherhood with the Long Beach Neptunes freediving club, along with his Monday Night Footballers since his days at Pacific Bell.
His friendships span the entire length of the Baja peninsula, including many Godchildren. Tata loved to be involved in every family BBQ, gathering and reunion, along with sporting events and youth team functions.
At every gathering, Tata was the guy with the squeaky cooler full of Tecates and chilled wine for the Ladies.
His presence will be missed by everyone that knew him.
