Frank drove me to the Jacksonville airport in his 67 orange Road Runner when I left the Navy in 68. Last time I saw him but great memories of our time in the service have always been with me.

Rest in peace, Frank. We had a great childhood watching silent films, racing slot cars, Camp Hyde Bay, and teenage antics in high school.

Frank was a real person, one that I knew I could trust and who was wise beyond his years- real insight, real integrity, really funny.
I taught at RIT with Frank as our technician.
