Frank P. Fani, age 73 of Kenosha passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 13, 2020.

Frank was born in Kenosha on April 21, 1947 to the late Herman and Helen (nee: Gentile) Fani. He attended local schools, including Bain School, St. Anthony’s, was a 1965 graduate of St. Joseph High School, and later the Racine School of Cosmetology.

Frank served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War with the 1st Infantry Division – The Big Red One and remained a proud veteran until the time of his death.

On November 7, 1970 he was united in marriage to his soulmate, Janet M. Dase, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Together in that same year they opened The Flair Styling Studio on 75th St. in Kenosha and the salon business has been a part of them ever since. A second salon, Partners in Design & Spa in Racine, was opened in 1989. Frank remained active at both until becoming ill a short time ago; both businesses continue to operate under the direction of his wife and children.

Amongst others, Frank was a black belt in karate, a certified PADI dive instructor, and member of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church, the Italian American Club, numerous Wine Clubs and the Dixie League Golf League. Frank’s schedule was very regimented with nearly every morning starting with a 6am workout, a full work week, Saturdays with the greatest of friends either golfing or playing cards, and Sundays with the Breakfast Club. He and Janet were blessed to have traveled throughout the years with various groups of friends, often to someplace warm or involving a vineyard.

With Frank there were no differences between family and friends as both were treated the same. Frank loved hard, was welcoming to all that were around him, and supported his clients, employees, friends, and family in virtually every way he could. The family wishes to thank all of those very same people for the role they’ve played in Frank’s life and continue to play for his family moving forward.

Survivors include his wife Janet; his children, Frankie (Shaun), Suzanne, and Jennifer (Brian) Portilia; five grandchildren Elli, Brian, Oliver, Zoe, and Phoebe (each one thinking they were his favorite); his siblings, Marietta (Gerald) Mengo, Bruno Fani, and Jerry (Hilda) Fani, several nieces and nephews, and many cherished friends.

In addition to his parents, Frank was preceded in death by his mother-in-law, Ethel Dase, father-in-law, Ervin Dase, brother-in-laws Tim Clark and Donald Kisielewski, sister-in-law, Jackie Fani and several aunts and uncles.

    I am so sorry to read of the loss of Frank. What a wonderful, good, decent man he was. He brimmed with kindness and all things positive. The Fani’s brought great, good energy to our Gentile family when Frank’s father married into the Gentile family. The Fani’s were always kind, loving, generous people and Frank was exactly that. I am truly, truly sad and my heart goes out to all of you in this very sad time.

    From the day we moved in next door you welcomed us as family. Upon arriving home you often were sitting on your porch and always welcomed me home with a loving exclamation of “Nance!” You cared for us like family and treated Oliver like another grandchild. Every glass of Cabernet will be a toast to you, Frank. Much love and hugs to the whole family.

    My heart breaks for his family! He was the best boss that I ever had, I took a job at the Flair to help him out on Saturday’s, at the reception desk and a couple of years later I was still there! I also waited on him at the House of Gerhard when Carol and him would come in after work to drink wine and eat the liver pate’ with garlic toasts and he would sneak cigarettes from the girls! What a man, what a smile, what a legend….my thoughts and prayers are with his family…

He will be missed and I drive past the Flair every day and will just imagine he’s still in there and smiling. Love you guys, Jerri and Howie Haubrich

    To his loving family and all of his friends… Frank was more than my amazing hair expert. He was a friend. Probably the hardest working person I know. We chatted about life and he shared his heart with me. He had the biggest heart! He loved his family and on most visits to the salon spoke of getting home to his lovely wife to have dinner and see the grandkids. I will never forget the laughs we shared. Frank always had a great story to share. God bless all of you! His legacy will live on!! Sending you love and prayers!

  71. Van & MaryJo Wanggaard says

    December 17, 2020 at 8:17 pm

    Frank has been an extended member of the Wanggaard family for decades. Frank was a real gentleman with great family values he displayed with every moment of life and more importantly when no one was looking! He will be greatly missed but not forgotten! Anyone who was blessed to share part of their time with Frank throughout his life I am sure is better because of it! Frank, we will meet again. LYB

    Even though I have not known Frank as long as I wish I could have, the love and vitality Frank had was so prevalent. I was a new employee as the spa manager and he was a joy to work for. I wanted to make him proud and do a good job for him. He would say “I love you” when we were done talking as he did to everyone. Someone so positive and loving is a true gift to the world. He will be truly missed , the world was a better place with him in it. It was a blessing to meet this man. My deepest Condolences to his family and friends.

I wanted to make him proud and do a good job for him. He would say “I love you” when we were done talking as he did to everyone. He was a give me a hug instead of a hand shake kind of guy. If he shook your hand that was his word. Someone so positive and loving is a true gift to the world. He will be truly missed , the world was a better place with him in it. It was a blessing to meet this man. My deepest Condolences to his family and friends.

    Dear Janet, Children, and Family,
    I have just watched the most beautiful funeral for Frank, just as he would have wanted it. It was an example of love, just as he was. Frank was a living Channel for LOVE, LIGHT, JOY, and
    PEACE. I feel so blessed for his touching my life from the beginning of the Flair until now and will always be in my heart.
    I have just written you a card and letter. Ieft teaching in Kenosha, for Az, but the last 13 years have returned yearly and felt the love of Frank styling my hair. Little did I know Frank had passed the day before I left. Perhaps you received the text I sent to his phone two days before that. I was concerned about his health, The family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
    I am grateful for Frank’s love to me and all of you. This has made my world a better place and feeling this will continue always. I am sending these words of HOPE from John:1:5 The light
    shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.”

    Janet and family, my heart felt condolences go out to you.

    Frank was one of a kind! I’ve known him for 40 years. He was a dear friend to me. I was a client but he made me feel like family. We never parted with out “love you”. He was my “happy place”. He truly touched every soul he came into contact with and made them feel special. Frank will be dearly missed.

My heart hurts for the family and all those that called him friend. I was so blessed to be a part of his life for 48 years. Cherish every moment as they pass so quickly. Keep smiling in heaven, Frank! Cheers!! Love you ❤️
