Frank Lewis Springer Obituary.

Published in the Panama City News Herald on Sep 28, 2014.

Frank Springer, 81, of Panama City Beach, FL passed away June 28, 2014 at home, surrounded by his family.

Born Nov. 28, 1932 in Minneapolis, Minn., Frank grew up in Delray Beach, Fla., served in the U.S. Navy, and graduated from FSU where he proudly played football for the Seminoles while earning his teaching degree.

Frank married his "beautiful lady," Joyce Nagengast of Miami, in 1955 and they raised four children.

Frank was predeceased by his daughter, Susan Sholtis, in 2006. He is survived by his wife, Joyce, children John Springer, Thomas Springer and Kathryn Springer, by his grandson Noah Springer and sister-in-law Carol Nagengast.

The fall of the year was Frank's favorite season. He looked forward to and thoroughly enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday, especially pumpkin pie.

After his family, Frank loved and lived football. He derived great joy from teaching and coaching his students. His teaching career spanned nearly 50 years in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and Colorado. Frank retired from teaching at Rutherford High School in Panama City.

In retirement, Frank took up the hobby of building and flying model airplanes. He also discovered his love of animals. The Springer home was and still is a gathering spot for their dogs, cats, including Frank's cat "Willie," and a few other critters.

Frank is remembered and missed every day.
