Frank Anthony Tabili, age 90 of Kenosha, died on Monday, May 16, 2016 at his residence with his loving family by his side.

For 42 years, Frank was employed as a planning supervisor with AMC/Chrysler.

He was a member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and the Italian American Society. Frank was a lifelong Cubs fan and enjoyed the time he spent golfing, bowling and playing softball. In 1977, he was thrilled to have obtained his private pilot license. Frank had many happy memories traveling with his wife, Susan after their retirement.

Frank was a loving father to four daughters, Kristine Kling of Kenosha, Janet (James) Splitek of Kenosha, Susan (Lee) Downs of Menomonee Falls and Lee Ann (Mark) Harp of Kenosha; and a loving grandfather to Grace Kling and Rachel Downs. He is further survived by his sister, Mary Ciotti.
