Francis John Waclawik (Froggy), 69 Page, ND died at home after a short battle with cancer, Monday, May 21, 2007 under the care of Hospice of the Red River Valley. Francis was born August 3, 1937, in Page, ND to Frank and Dorothy (Robinson) Waclawik. He attended Page School, and married Wilma Lavina Dahm at St. James Catholic Church in Page ND, on April 12, 1958. Francis and Wilma farmed side-by-side for 30 years.

Francis and Wilma traveled throughout the United States, settling in Arizona most winters. In the later years their grandchildren would often accompany them on trips. He was a member of the St. James Catholic Church until 2005, when it closed. Froggy enjoyed his morning coffee along with the deck of cards and dice box for many years.
