Frank Richard MOEHLING

MOEHLING, Frank Richard On August 6, 2008 Frank Richard Moehling, beloved father of Kimberly, sadly passed away in a tragic helicopter accident in Northern B.C. He was 53 years young. Frank grew up in that part of the world being born in Stewart, BC on March 12, 1955 to Irma and Richard Moehling. He grew up there with his two brothers, Peter Moehling and Harold Weiss as well an extended family including aunts, uncles and cousins. Later, Frank followed his parents, Irma and Walter Weiss, to Vernon to live. The fall of 1976 Frank entered Okanagan College in the Fine Arts Program. Here he, the artist, met Lyn, the art model, his future bride of twenty-five years. In 1977, Frank won the Consumer's Glass Scholarship. In 1984, Frank received his Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree with Distinction in bronze sculpture and in 1988 he received his Masters of Fine Arts. Frank worked with Economy Carriers for fifteen plus years both as a company driver and a lease operator. In 1989, Lyn and Frank returned to Seoul, Korea, to adopt their beloved daughter, Kimberly Rae. In 2001, Frank gave up the trucking life and settled down to be a businessman. Recently, Frank worked for Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. as a camp manager. When he was not at work, Frank loved to bike ride with Kimberly. Frank also had many friends and enjoyed their company as often as he could. He will be remembered by all who knew him as a practical man with a sharp wit but gentle heart and a helping hand. Frank Moehling was a good man and he will be dearly missed.
