Walter Charles Frank

Walter Charles Frank, 94, died Friday, Aug. 29 in San Francisco. Walter was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, on May 26, 1920 to Dr. Willy and Ilse Fackenheim.

In 1938, he was taken to Buchenwald and imprisoned by the Nazis for six months. After his release, he and his family escaped Nazi Germany to Shanghai, where they remained for eight years. His parents died in Shanghai.

In 1946, Walter and his brother Eric immigrated to the United States and arrived in California. Walter rose from stock boy at a department store to become one of the foremost CPAs in the country. He was a world-class joke teller, lovely pianist, and a fount of warmth and charm who cherished his family.

Walter is survived by his wife Eva Angress, his sweetheart of 14 years; his son William (Janet); daughter-in-law Leslie; grandchildren Rachel (Matt), Eric, Maya (Chase) and Julian; and great-grandchildren Saul, Chloe, Isaac and Iris. He is survived by Eva’s children Lee (Tom) and David (Lydia), and grandchildren Aaron, Lisa (Ben), Jason, Jake, and Josh. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Ida, his brother Eric and his son Eugene.

Walter’s family thanks his devoted caregivers Betty, Jacqueline, Virginia, Maribelle and Hospice by the Bay. Walter’s funeral services were held at Sinai Memorial Chapel, and he was laid to rest at Eternal Home Cemetery in Colma.

He is at peace after a long and fascinating life. May his memory be for a blessing.
