To the Martley Family and friends, I offer my condolences. I used to purchase HVAC equipment from
Frank and he was always some one to count on for quick service and a good laugh. It seems that great people always leave us too soon.

Frank you will be missed.

Hi Martha,

Michelle and I wish to express our deepest sympathies on tthe passing of Frank. I will always remember his infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor (often at my own expense). Now it feels like the young days of our marriage were a long time ago, but we made many friends when we lived in Glenmont, and I know that we remember both of you with great fondness. May Frank's memory be a blessing to you and your family, and everybody who knew him

Fondly,

Scott and Michelle Davidoff
