I have many fond memories of my Uncle Frank. I was always proud of his many accomplishments from a very early age. My grandma always bragged about him telling us how he built radios, served his country in the U.S. Navy, being a leader in his profession, and raising a beautiful family. His family is a great legacy to him as he and Aunt Charlotte spent time at the Bay, scouting, and participating in colonial reenactment events.

My prayer is that the Jesus Christ, the God of the Universe, comfort his children, grandchildren, and close friends that will miss him very much.
" May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word." (2 Thessalonians 2: 16,17)

Rev. 21:3, 4 ~ Kim
