I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Frank, but I work with his sister, Merle and she is truly a wonderful and dear friend. To the family, my sympathy and prayers are with you and may you find peace in knowing that Frank didn't have to suffer and he is gone on to a much better place now.
Merle, I am always just a phone call away if you need. May God richly bless each of you.

It has been many years since we have spoken, but in my heart he will always be my "daddy Frank".

To the family, I offer my condolences. I know this is a very difficult time for you. My prayers are with you.

He will be missed.

May God Bless,
