FRANK FELBER PASSES AWAY 5 MONTHS AFTER WIFE ANITA DIED

 

Frank Felber, who transitioned from printer (1957-1972) to Data Processing (1973-1999) as a computer programmer, passed away Saturday, February 5.

He was the widower of North High graduate Anita Felber, who passed away in 2021 after 60 years of marriage. They were married in 1961.

During his BJ printer days Frank was elected to the executive committee of the Akron Typographical Local 182 in 1961.

His son, Vince Felber, also deceased, got in hot water with the Akron Police Department, where he was a detective, for the “Perfect Beauty” book he authored on the Cindy George case that published after the case was closed. One of Cindy’s lovers killed another of her lovers.

FOP Lodge 7 President Paul Hlynsky, who appealed Vince’s suspension, called him "one of the best detectives in the bureau" and said the action violated Vince’s First Amendment rights.

Felber's book, "Perfect Beauty" details his investigation of the Cindy George, Jeff Zack and John Zaffino love triangle firsthand.
