Such a sad time for you Kathy and your family. If there is a light in all of this it is that Frank went doing what he loved best - watching a baseball game! He looks forward now to playing his 10th inning with his loving friend Jesus. May you feel the swing of his bat with each passing breeze. Love you all, Wileen

Very sorry for your loss Kathy and family. I only had the chance to meet Frank a couple of brief times. He was quite nice and had good taste in where to go in Clearwater (Lenny's). I know my parents thought very highly of him and wanted to share my condolences.

Frank, never imagined that the reunion would be the last I saw you and our conversation on baseball and golf, would be the last we would speak.
We laughed at how good we looked, after 50+years. Knowing each other since 1st Grade @ St. Nicholas.
My prayers to your family and friends.
You truly will be missed.
R. I. P. Frank.
