Frank was born on June 27, 1927 to Michael, Sr. and Angeline (Witucki) Prokott in Bowlus, MN. He married Deloris “Dee” A. Majeski on June 1st, 1953 at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Minneapolis.

He was a member of the St. Cloud VFW #428, the Waite Park Silver Star Post #428 and the Eagles Aerie #622. Frank was also a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.
He was a jack of all trades, working for Spencer Kellogg in Minneapolis and later at Polar Manufacturing in Opole, MN, where he eventually retired. He was an excellent handy man; working as a plumber, carpenter, electrician and mason. He was an avid musician, playing the accordion, organ, harmonica and guitar. He enjoyed reading, gardening, hunting, fishing and dancing the Polka. Frank loved to play cribbage, being willing to play with anyone. He had a warm heart, gentle eyes and a smile that could light up a room. He especially enjoyed being surrounded by his family, especially his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife; children, James (Theresa) Prokott of Brooklyn Park, Patricia (Harvey) Baron of Royalton, Virginia (Robert) Johnson of Sauk Rapids, Debora (Myron) Ertl of St. Joseph, Karen (Thomas) Welle of Clear Lake; brothers, Sylvester and Ignatius; grandchildren, step-grandchildren, great-grandchildren, step-great-grandchildren and other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
