My family moved to Lake Forest, Ca in 1969 next door to Frank and Jeff's family. Jeff became one of my best friends and Frank, although my age had his group of friends he spent a lot of time with so I did not get to know him as well. Frank and his friends would join us in neighborhood football games and in the summer we all hung out at the Ravencraft's to swim in their pool. Singing in the shower was a family tradition for the Ravencraft's. I could always tell when Frank was in the shower. He could really belt it out. I lost my wife to cancer in 2022, Jeff and Frank along with my other neighborhood friends came out to her celebration of life. That was the last time I saw Frank. Frank was loved by his family and friends and will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Frank was such a good, honest and hard working man. I use to always see him out and about town and we would talk about how our families were doing. I will him very much. Sorry for your loss and prayers send to you from me and my whole family.
