I'm honored to be here to speak to you about him.  All of you had your own relationship and memories of what he was to you.  But today I hope that we can all realize  that his sprit lives on in each of us and he isn't truly gone until we have passed or forgotten him. 
   I remember my father as being a strong person and some what of an adventurous man who loved to travel.  He was born and raised here on long island, until he joined the Navy where he became nuclear sub mechanic and sailed the world. He met my Mother in Seattle Washington.  I came along soon after and we settled in Montana for a while.  When I was about 5 he took us to Alaska where he worked on the Alaskan pipeline.  While in Alaska he took me to see everything you could imagine.  Glaciers breaking off into the ocean, Kodak grizzles bears, majestic mountain ranges and even killer whales.  When I was 8 we moved back to  Montana, he took me to yellow stone national park to see the geysers and the other sites it has to offer, he taught me how to fish, hunt, make a camp fire and even started teaching me to drive.  In my early teens we moved to NY where he worked at Atlantic Detroit and diesel and Allison as a mechanic.  Our relationship struggled a bit into my twenties, But Anytime I really needed help he was there for me. When my mother passed I realized the importance of family and that life is to short to hold a grudge.  We grew closer, and he taught me how to work on my own vehicles and the value of a dollar.  He wasn't the type to offer a hand out but when I first started  my company and things were slow he offered  me work at his house to keep the ball rolling. 
    As I look back I see a strong man who had good morals, the courage to push though and do what it takes to make things happen.  A loving father who wanted what was best for his family and a teacher of life.
    So I just want to say this. Dad, thanks for giving me so many experiences and so many life tools.  I'll make sure that you live on though me, though my memories, my children and my children's children.  I will continue to make you proud and be all that I can be.  I love you and I will miss you greatly, but don't worry about me, you gave what I need to survive anything this world has to throw at me and then some. I couldn't have asked for a better father, friend or teacher.  Thanks again. 
                               
                               Your loving son,  Frank

My thoughts and condolences go to the family of Frank Bondeson. May you find comfort in the words found at Psalm 147:3.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

Have faith like Abraham. The Bible explains, Abraham reckoned that God was able to raise, (his son Isaac)up even from the dead. ( Hebrews 11:17-19)

Sincerely,
JRWS-PA
