From the day we met Mr. Frank Mace Sr., he showed us what an exceptional person he was. Both, Neisha and I have tons of loving memories of a great man. Frank opened himself and his family and made us feel part of it. He showed us around Hoosick St., Troy, Saratoga, Lake George and many others places and traditional customs we got to know and enjoy (cabbage and corned beef, mini-hotdogs, fish fry with milk shake, fresh corn, trout fishing, pig roast, amongst many others) through him. After one of our trips, Frank would be extremely eager to hear how it went and how we liked it.

He loved us as his family, Neisha like a daughter and Edrick and Eliab like grandchildren. Even after we left to Puerto Rico, he stayed in touch and never missed an opportunity to remind us how much he loved and remembered us. He made a point of always checking the weather in San Juan and was always eager to see the latest pictures from P.R. Never have we met people who opened their hearts, home, and family to strangers as he and his family did. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have learned so much from such a great man.

We deeply feel the loss of great friend. We hope the Lord, in His mercy, will comfort each and every one of his loved ones. We are going to really miss a great friend, our loving Troy Grandpa.

Since my return to Troy, Frank has been a visiting neighbor. Frequently when Dorothy was busy we would sit on the steps and Frank would reminisce about his athletic life, and his friendship with my father-in-law. I enjoyed his stories. I know you will miss him.

My condolences to all.

To the Entire Mace Family,

I am so sorry for your loss of father, grandfather, and great grandfather. His love for all of you centered his life on family. What sadness I feel for the loss of my friend. Frank’s loyalty to his friends reflects a value system that too frequently is missing from today’s society.

God bless all of you in this time of sorrow. I hope that Puffin and Momma were at the pasture gate to greet him, along with all the other loved ones who have gone before, when he reached the great beyond!
