Sandy & Gina,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. We were only in Highland a few years but in that short time Frank and yourselves were very welcoming to us at Madeline's dance center.
Sincerely,
Dawn, Tom, Jillian and Jared Ackerman

My deepest sympathy to the Zambito family. I remember Stony from NFA; he was one of the nicest, funniest guys I knew. May your memories bring you comfort during this sorrowful time.

Frankie ("Stoneman" to his close friends) was a member of the "Magnificent 7" of the NFA class of 1964. Though we had not seen each other in at least thirty years, I always have great memories of the crazy times we had growing up together in Newburgh. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Sandy, Steve and Gina -
I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray that you are taking time for family and healing.
I have so many fond memories of our families being together, and some are quite silly with Frank. He always had a sparkle in his eye, and he thought the world of his family. He sure knew how to make other's comfortable and to have fun! I'm sure he's looking down on all of you now with the same sparkle and love.
My thoughts are with you...
