To our wonderful, beautiful daughter Steph and grandchildren, Ches, Ve & Cole: On Saturday, October 25, 2014 at 5:50 PM a piece of our heart was taken from us. We don't know why or how the words son-in-law or daughter-in-law came into use because to us when you married our son or daughters, you too become our sons and daughter. We have been blessed with the addition of Kolene, Dave & Frank. They are and always will be part of our family. That's why it is so hard to accept Frank's departure. He was truly a son! Steph, just as we are blessed, you are also blessed. You have many wonderful memories and they will always be yours. When you look at Ches, Ve & Cole, please pat yourself on the back because you and Frank did one hell of a job. Ches, Ve & Cole, you have a whole army behind you: the Stambaughs, the Chapmans, the Hockers, and now the Summas and the Nestors. They are all family and will always be there for you. We love you all very much. And to you Frank, rest in peace, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.  Love always, Mom & Dad (Nan & Pap)

Such a great loss, to someone who was not only a loving husband, father and friend to many, he was a person who would help out any one in need when asked. After knowing Frank for almost 30 years and so many memories, he was in the past, now in the present, and always in the future be a dear friend of mine. You will be sadly missed.

Robo, Connie, and Family

So sorry to hear of your loss, our prayers are with you and your family.

We have been blessed with the addition of Kolene, Dave & Frank.  They are and always will be part of our family. That's why it is so hard to accept Frank's departure. He was truly a son! You know Pap always followed the rule, "silence is golden," but if I did that, Frank would say, "What's wrong with Nan, she's always talking." And so to you Steph, just as we are blessed, you are also blessed.  You have many wonderful memories and they will always be yours. When you look at Ches, Ve & Cole, please pat yourself on the back because you and Frank did one hell of a job! Ches, Ve & Cole--you have a whole army behind you: the Stambaughs, the Chapmans, the Hockers, and now the Summas and the Nestors. They are all family and will always be there for you. We love you very much.  And, to you Frank, rest in peace for you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.  Love always, Mom & Dad (Nan & Pap)

Stephanie,  I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you and your family during this time. Be strengthened knowing how much Frank meant to so many people.

Tenderly…May God's love heal your sorrow.  Gently…May the prayers of friends ease your hurting.  Softly…May God's peace replace your heartache with warm and loving memories.

Stephanie, kids and Franks family, Frank was a "one of a kind" friend to me. May God bless and keep you all - Don Lambert, Cly, Pa.

Dear Stephanie & Family, Though I didn't know him well I do know one thing...If he wasn't a very good man he wouldnt have had you as his wife. Our sympathy to you and yours in this trying time.

God saw the road was getting touch, the hill was hard to climb.  He gently closed his loving eyes and whispered peace be thine.  The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights have passed.  The ever patient worn out frame had found sweet rest at last.

Steph, Fran, Ve and Cole...cherish the memories of your husband and father.  We was a wonderful man.  You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.  Love to all of you.

So thankful to have you as my dad. My dad was the worlds best guy! Always a warm smile, a funny laugh, a silly story, a goofy comment, my handy man and our family MR MOM!!! Our daddy could use his hands to change a tire or cook us delicious dinner! He was the best and will forever be the best. He loved unconditionally and was supportive of everything. Through all the pain, I never saw a tear. Only the warmest smiles. I hope to be just like my dad. I love you so much daddy guy. Until I see you again, watch over us all. 
Love always,
Your daughter
