Just like my brother Joe, I am also sad to learn of Cousin Frankie's passing.  I remember him as very soft spoken and unassuming.  He was a man with many keen interests and hobbies.  I will never forget the visits to Aunt Margaret's and Cousin Frankie's home  with its dock on Lake Washington.  It was so fun to take rides in the old tug.  They even gave us kids sailor hats to wear.  Farewell, Frankie.

I’m sad to just now find out about my cousin Frankie passing. When I was a young boy my parents  would send me to Kirkland to spend my summers with Frankie. I have so many wonderful memories of living in the boat house, playing pool with the sea scouts that came by everyday, working on the boats and learning how to water ski. Somehow later in life I ended up with the pool table and still have it to this day. Frankie, thank you for all the memories and trips you took us on. I treasure them and will miss you. I’m so lucky to have had you as my cousin and friend.

Frank was a huge influence in my life.  His home on the lake and the Sea Scout Ship he led  provided a refuge for me during a very difficult time in my life. In addition to teaching me seamanship, sailing, engine repair and even carpentry, he taught me a lot about life. Thank you, Frank.

I read about Frank's passing in the latest "Blackberry Preserves." This is the newsletter published by the Kirkland Heritage Society, which seemed to be one of the many community organizations to which Frank gave of himself and his time. As a student at Holy Family active in the Boy Scouts in the early 70's, I remember him most fondly as a leader of the Sea Scouts. I never got to know him well, but recall to this day the kind impression he left on me as a youngster in Kirkland. May he Rest In Peace.

Frank was a Holy Family Parish and School institution.  He drove busses for the school and helped out on Boy Scout camps and transportation.  I'm sure that he did so much more than I ever realized or remember.
     Frank just helped out wherever, however, and whomever he could.  He wasn't one to talk about himself and never looked for accolades.  He never took credit for anything and never expected to hear praise and thanks.  Frank just pitched in and did whatever needed to be done for others.  I wish that I had known him better.
