Frank Steier was born June 3, 1933 on the family farm located in Stark County, the son of Thomas and Matilda (Huck) Steier. He grew up and attended school in Sheffield through the eighth grade. After the loss of his father, Frank began working on the farm and continued to help his mother. On October 19, 1955, Frank and Clara Binstock were united in marriage. To this union Ken, Sylvia, Russ and Bruce were born. Together, the couple raised their family in Dickinson.
Frank began his working career at Ready Mix Company and later went to work for Buds Standard. In 1970, he started Steier Oil Field Service which he operated for the next 28 years; retiring in 1997. Frank and his family built and operated Frankie’s West Side for 20 years.
Frank enjoyed working with his cattle, horses, and tinkering in the shop. He looked forward to his daily Pinochle games at Frankie’s. Frank had a strong faith in God and was a lifelong member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. He attended daily mass, was an usher, led the rosary, and held an Adoration Hour. His greatest joy was his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and loved spending time with them. Family was everything to him and enjoyed his yearly family gathering in South Dakota.
