We were so sad to hear of Frank's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the immediate family.
He was my Godfather when I was confirmed many years ago. God have mercy on him and may he rest in peace.

So sad to hear of Frank's passing. His devotion to his family was to be admired. He had almost a teenage enthusiasm for politics. You are all in my prayers.

We always had a great time on the many occasions our paths crossed during Assessor's and Director's conferences. Frank was one of the good guys and shared his vast experience with others. I personally have missed our chats and suspect he is busy helping some veteran file an exemption in heaven as I write this.
