I remember both Frank and Joann fondly!! They were are wonderful neighbors in Clinton Township. Sandy and I have many fine memories of both of them. They will always be in our thoughts. Tom Denewith 

I think of Frank so often and miss him as a neighbor and Good Friend.  On the warm summer days we would sit on my porch with a glass of ice tea and he would tell me about the days at Saturn and his auto engineering experiences.

Dear Vince & Linda:

I was very sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad.  I was praying for him to make the century mark and I thought, if any one could do it, it would be "Ben Blue". I remember with fondness the many hours we spent with your family and the many experiences we had together. I remember my days spent with your Dad fixing up and repairing your Mom's old Ford and the many things I learned from him about auto repair. He was a great man, father and friend to all. I treasure the memories of him and your family as our neighbors and second family. I will be praying for all of you as you did for me on the passing of your family member. Remember that Ben Blue is now entertaining them in heaven and your Mom is just saying Oh Frank stop it. All my love, Fred

My grandfather was a trip to say the least. I think most people who had ever met him would say the same. I have many fond memories of him. He was the first to take me for my first flight lesson in Florida. He and I volunteered at the Mount Clemens Thanksgiving Parade. He would drive me around collecting various fire dept patches from stations in Macomb and Wayne counties. He also would speak Italian with me on the phone as a method of improving my elementary fluency. He will be missed, but his legacy of 99 years will live in our families memories.

I met Frank when I joined the choir at St. Thecla Church. He was a funny and kind man. Even after he left the choir I would get that phone call just to say hi. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.











To all of Frank's Family, Please accept our sincere sympathy in Frank's passing.  Sandy and I truly cared for your father and mother.  They were wonderful people and were truly appreciated their friendship when we were neighbors on Harwick Court.  Frank in my estimation was one of a kind.  A truly bright and articulate man through his entire life.  A man dedicated to his family and his profession.  He was always involved in some aspect of life.  Whether it was family or something in the community.  Frank was never one to sit on the sideline.  His faith was very important to him and he was always very involved in his parish.  Plus he was always volunteering for something whether it was the hospital or our homeowners association.  I admired Frank and valued his friendship.  Even though in the last few years when he moved to the west side we did not have  much contact I always enjoyed our phone calls.  We will miss Frank but we will always cherish our memories of our time together. Sincerely, Tom and Sandy Denewith










Frank was like a second father to us.  Over the years we spent many holidays with him.  Lots of special stories.  We often picked up Frank at Fox Run, his independent living home and took him to his daughter's (Linda) home for a holiday celebration.  He always sat in the front with Gordon and often reminisced about his career at Ford Motor Company.   He had lots of special memories of his life there.   We will miss his lively stories.  He had a zest for life.

Dear Frank,  Sorry I didn't stop by last month, when we took Michele for her monthly infusion,  but condition were not favorable for a visit.  I recall several months ago, I had to play 20 questions with you, as to remember my name and Moraivan sub and all the wonderful discussions about family, work, and your dream of living to 100 years! close counts.  
A friend like you comes along once in a lifetime, I thank God for giving me your friendship throughout the years.
A Great Friend (Dad), Great Neighbor, Lifetime of Memories.
Love from the, Colombo Family, Chuck, Francine, David, Michele
