Frank George Csulak

July 20, 1934 - April 3, 2025

Frank Csulak, Sr. of Holmdel, NJ died peacefully on 3 April 2025, with his loving family by his side.

Frank was born July 20, 1934 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Frank spent his early years in Roselle, NJ where he graduated from Abraham and Clark High School and where he met his high school sweetheart Ines Rodman. The two of them were married in 1955. After their marriage, they lived in El Paso, Texas while Frank served in the U.S Army at Fort Bliss. After two years in El Paso, Frank and Ines returned to Roselle, New Jersey in their 1955 Ford Fairlane.

Frank was born with the skills of a natural artist. He attended Pratt Institute, NY where he further developed his art skills. His first job was with the Boy Scouts of America. In 1964, Frank and Ines relocated to Holmdel, NJ where he then started his own graphic design business, called Graphic Communications. Needless to say both Frank Jr and Ron always had the best book report covers in school.

They resided in Holmdel for nearly 60 years raising their two sons, Frank Csulak Jr and Ronald Csulak.

Because of Frank’s artistic abilities and love for Holmdel, he volunteered his time and energy to many local organizations. The touch of Frank Csulak can be seen throughout the town of Holmdel. Frank was heavily involved with several volunteer organizations such as Kiwanis, HYAA, Holmdel Fire Company, Holmdel First Aid Squad, and the Holmdel High School Booster Club. Frank was responsible for designing many logos, including the original Holmdel High School Hornet logo, that still remains today. He was also known for taking care of the ”Csulak Garden” located at the Holmdel Swim Club.

In his later years, Frank and Ines filled their time with Frank playing the trumpet and his wife, Ines playing the accordion in many different bands throughout the NJ, NY area. In addition to his music, Frank enjoyed his pastel artwork. His art work was recognized by many and received multiple awards.

Frank is survived by his loving spouse, Ines, his two sons Frank Jr and Ronald and spouse Francine, 3 grandchildren, Christina, Nicholas, Tara and 2 great grandchildren, Jordan and Brielle.

A private memorial service will be held at the Holmdel Funeral Home followed by an entombment at the Holmdel Cemetery.

I only met Frank a few times, but he was one of the founding members of the Vasa Order of America Local Lodge Dalahast #742, where I am the current Secretary. In looking through our historical documents, many of them were designed by Frank - and they were wonderful! He was so creative and had such wonderful vision! We will miss his wry sense of humor, and his dedication to doing things in the best way possible, and asking us to do the same. I know that there are many at our Lodge that will miss him very much. Our sincere condolences to his family.

Dearest Ines, love to your sons! You and Frank have always been special to me as well! Our love of the accordion will live on always! Love you Rosemarie…(Cavanaugh) (from orchestra days!)

My sincere condolences on your loss. My favorite memories of Frank involve him playing trumpet, especially at the Vasa Smorgasbord with Ines. Ric Johansson, Wally Eriksson, and me. He was such a caring and fun guy and I know you will miss his dearly. I pray that his legacy will always be cherished as he enters Eternal Life with the Lord Jesus. May God grant you peace in this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ines and the Csulak family. I had the privilege of working with Ines and meeting Frank Sr. while I worked at the Holmdel Township Recreation Dept. He was a very talented and special person. I have great memories of him. May he rest in peace. Michele Frazzitta

As the days, weeks and months ahead will be difficult, we pray you may all find some solace as you recall memorable occasions, laughter shared and life well lived and dutifully served. We pray that Mr. Csulak’s soul & all the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace and eternal paradise. 🙏🫡

Sincere sympathy to Ines, Frank Jr., Ron, on the passing of Frank Sr. May he rest in peace. I have good memories of Frank. Janis Marano

Frank, Ron, and Ines, I am very sorry for your loss. I have very good memories of Mr. Csulak as we were all growing up in Holmdel. Peace

Our condolences to the Csulak family. We did not know Mr. Csulak, but we do know him through his son, Frank. He did a good job. The Dash I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on the tombstone From the beginning…to the end He noted that first came the date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years For that dash represents all the time That they spent alive on earth.

Frank and Ines were charter members of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 112 Middletown Road, Holmdel. They are members #31 and #32 in our parish register. I enjoyed my visits with them and appreciated when Ines was able to come and play her accordion for special occasions. Frank will be missed and it will be my honor to preside at the service with his family.

Ron, Frank, So sorry for your loss. May your Dad be held in Gods arms and may he enjoy a resting peace in heaven for eternity. Thanks to you and your family for being good company for my Mom. You are good people and make a difference in others lives. Sincerely, Dave Cofone

May perpetual light shine upon him and may his soul rest in peace. With heartfelt condolences to Ines, Frank, Ron and the family.

Remembering Frank.

So sorry to hear about Mr. C! I had the pleasure of knowing him for a very long time! He was a great man! He always made the “ Csulak Garden” beautiful! He we definitely be missed! Condolences to Frank, Mrs. C, Christina, Ron, and extended family! You are all in my prayers!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
