He died of symptoms associated with COPD due to lifelong cigarette smoking.A Memorial Service will be held Friday, June 21 at 10am at Journey Church, Avon Campus, 995 Center Rd. Avon, Ohio 44011. Frank is survived by his parents, Fred & Nancy Lima. Beloved husband to Patty Lima. Father to Frank S. Lima (deceased), Fred A. Lima, Nicole Salerno (Fabio) and Grace Nazel (Jameson). Cherished grandfather to Dominic, Gabriella, Vincenzo, Alexander, Sofia, Abigail, Gianni, Luca and Nora. Brother to Gail Lima-Richmond, Sue Fitch (deceased), Mary Ann Grassia (Tony), Mickey, Fred Jr. (Laura), Jerry (Judy), Tony, Nancy Higgins (Rich), Patrick (Terry), Julie Stolar (Mike). His many nieces & nephews, great-nieces and nephews and the mutt, Harley. A special thank you to friends and family who gave their time and love to help. Especially Pastor Paul Grodell whose faith and prayers provided comfort to Frank, Patty and his family. And to Frank\'s wife, Patty, for her immeasurable and constant care. Finally, in honor of Frank\'s legacy, we hope you\'ll be encouraged to quit smoking or using any tobacco products. They are not worth the price paid by diminishing quality of life, dying young and missing out on time with family. The ramifications of the smoking addiction will rob your body of being able to perform the simplest of tasks. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you would consider a donation to the Outreach Program at Journey Church. When I'm GoneWhen I come to the end of my journeyAnd I travel my last mile,Just forget if you can, that I ever frownedAnd remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken;Remember some good I have done,Forget that I ever had heartacheAnd remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blunderedAnd sometimes fell by the way.Remember I have foughtSome hard battles and won,Ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going,I would not have you sad for a day,But in summer just gather some flowersAnd remember the place where I lay And come in the eveningWhen the sun points the sky in the West,Stand for a few moments beside meAnd remember only my best.
