I knew Frank for 41 years and in my younger years of knowing him he played football with us in the street, basketball in the driveway & shooting pool. He enjoyed spending time with his family and we shared many holidays at our home along with my parents & at his home. He taught his sons about family & a work ethic. He never met a stranger. He loved his wife & sons, and daughter's-in-laws & grandchildren as they came along. I know this & many more memories of him that I won't forget, because you see, he was part of my family, as he was my father-in-law for many years & is the grandfather of my daughters. Frank……you will be truly missed.
Laura, Gary, Don & Darrell;
I pray that you have comfort & strength during this difficult time.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I remember Uncle Frank as a kind person and was a great family man. He loved his family and he and Aunt Laura raised three great kids. Uncle Frank always had a smile for you and was always very sociable and personable. May God bless his family during this difficult time.
Love,
