Frank left a great legacy of integrity and leadership. We were fortunate to experience his exemplary service as OSBA President during very anxious and stressful times.
We are grateful to have had the opportunity of knowing both Frank and Ginni during our time together with OSBA and polecat functions.
Our sincere condolences to Ginni and family.

I was at Hobart Corporation when Mr. Frank Bazler joined the company. He brought a lovely elegance along with legal competence, humanity, approachability, and humor. Mr. Bazler was a prime example of the gentlemen leaders who created our company. Condolances to Mrs. Bazler and thank you for sharing him with Hobart and the City of Troy. May Mr. Bazler enjoy a peaceful rest and his #1 Overhead Seat for all athletics from The Oho State University.

Mrs. Bazler and Frank's family, Our condolences for your loss. While I didn't know him well because I was not on OSBA staff when Frank served, I can tell you he is thought of as one of the best leaders in the OSBA, and everyone appreciated his leadership and kindness. His work to serve lawyers and the people of Ohio lives on. Thoughts and prayers from your OSBA family!

My thoughts and prayers are with Frank's family at this sorrowful time. I was a young lawyer on the Board of Governors of the Ohio State Bar Association when Frank was President and remember his calm and steady leadership in a year that named us polecats and saw turbulence with our relationship with the Supreme Court. Those will be my memories of Frank always.

Frank was an inspiration to all of us, a very humble and principled leader of the OSBA.
During very tumultuous times for the Ohio Bar, Frank's leadership and unwavering courage navigated the Ohio Bar to it's continued independence. Ginni we were so fortunate to have Frank as our President and you always at his side.
Rosalie and I always enjoyed your great company! The two of you made such an Ideal couple, always positive, helpful and kind. We will miss Frank and his great sense of humor.

Farewell to the Chief Polecat, Frank, who was very active in perpetuating recognition for those who had the courage in the OSBA to stand up representing the attorneys of Ohio against the draconian oppression of a Chief Justice who was acting in an unethical manner.

Ginni,
Frank was an exemplary lawyer, leader and friend. His election as OSBA president was a close call, but the bar was the beneficiary. We well remember his initiative and courage in saving Ohio from a terrible tyranny. Through it all he remained dignified and confident. But as important as his professional and civic activities were, it was always obvious that you were the center of his life. You were a lucky woman to have had such a devoted and accomplished companion. We are grateful to have known him.
