My deepest condolences. He was one of the finest men that I have had the pleasure of knowing. I recall with great fondness the "retirement countdown". There came a time whenever I would see him in court he would tell me how many months, weeks, days, hours and minutes were left until he retired. I last saw him many years ago at the Exxon station in Rockville getting his Caddy repaired. A wonderful man, a great loss. Again, my deepest sympathies to you.

Mrs. Braden and Family;
Jim and Peggy Murray of Bowie, Maryland offer our most sincere and heartfelt condolences. We worked with Frank years ago at Capitol Credit Corporation and admired him greatly.
God bless you and your family.

Despite being neighbors in Rockville and Deep Creek for several years, it was only recently that we started to spend time together. Even our all-to-brief time with Frank over the last few years was a blessing we will treasure forever. It was so easy to tell from that twinkle in his eye what a uniquely joyful, engaging and wonderful spirit he had. We will miss him greatly, and we hope that you can find comfort in all of the wonderful memories.
