Mr. Frain,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and the Korean War and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Rest in peace, Gene. You were ever a gentle friend and great musician. We go back a long way.

Over 40 years ago, Gene, Jimmy and Sally Kelly and my husband, Joe Joyce were the winners in a band competition. Thirty years later, when our daughter, Catherine, was born, Gene very generously gave me the trophy to save for Catherine. We didn't see Gene in the later years but I will remember Gene as a gentleman. Gene, I hope you were greeted by Joe and Jimmy and more to join the heavenly session.
