Our sincerest sympathy to Frank's extended family. How saddened we were to learn of Frank's death! All the Lawson sisters from Frank's old neighborhood in West Newton, MA share in your grief with the death of Frank. He was such a wonderful neighbor, friend and companion to our late parents and such a devoted son to his mother whom he lovingly cared for for so many years prior to her death. What fond memories we have of him and his love of "big" cars. In His Will is Our Peace

To Frank's family my condolences for your loss. I worked with Frank, in the 60's, for Standard Wholesale (Sheraton subsidiary) and last saw him when he lived in Priscilla Beach. I recently heard that he was back in Plymouth from Stacey who used to drive him to appointments. She tried to get us connected via email but then I heard that he was not doing well and we never connected. I lived in Plymouth for over sixty years and moved to FL in late 2004. Sorry I was not able to contact Frank again.

There is so much we could say about our dear friend Frank. He was a simple man, with a kind heart. He lived for family, friends, my children, and a good home cooked dinner. He will be missed greatly in our home. He was a wonderful man who never judged, gave great advice, and cared for us all. He had great stories, and you could always see the passion in his beautiful blue eyes has he told them. (over and over again). Though the last few years of his life were a struggle, he never complained. He always got through every battle. I could only wish to have half the courage and strenth Frank had. I am so glad I had the pleasure of meeting Frank some years ago at a little resteraunt called the Mermaid Cafe. From there we had dinner together about twice a week. Who knew back them that this man would make our family whole. He made our children sound like saints (which they're not). He talked about them to everyone and bragged about them all the time. They always knew "Uncle Frank" would stick up for them when they were in trouble. He taught my children great lessons in life. Simple lessons that most people these days have forgotten. I know they will keep them in their hearts and pass down to their children. I will miss our dinner table conversations. Mostly Frank telling his stories, making fun of Dan, Dan making fun of him, and telling me how his mother would have made the meal. We will miss you Uncle Frank, we love you. Watch over us and keep us safe. Your memories will live in our hearts forever. Love, Jen, Dan, Elizabeth, Emily, and James.
