Sorry to hear of Frank's passing. When I was new to the job and worked details or overtime at 2's on Frank's shift he would always make you feel welcome and let you in on the fun and games in the firehouse even though he didn't know you. When it was time to work at a fire he was truly a professional and when it was time to have fun he loved to get things going and it was always a great time.
