Sorry to read about the passing of an old Charlestown friend, Frank. He was a fun guy I'll always remember "holding court" at the front table in Vick's Coffee Shop on Main St., calling everybody "Mudlark". Rest in Peace, old friend.

My deepest sympathy to Frank's family. Some of my most memorable moments were spent working with him at Honeywell. His personality endeared him to most of us who knew him. I will miss him.

May he rest in peace, I worked with Frank at Honeywell-Bull, I remember him glowing when speaking about going to the diving meets. He was perhaps the best versed person in his field. It was a long time since we saw each other, but I've never forgotten him ... great wit, very smart.

Ellen and Bryan,
Thinking of you at this time and wish I could attend Frank's service to express my sympathy in person. Your dad was definitely one of the 'ten most interesting persons' in both my and my husband Carl's lives,
