I started to write something when this was first posted....several times infact, and always would delete what I wrote. I know now there are no words that can describe this man. He was the only father I've ever known. He was there for me three thick and thin. He was what kept the holmes family together. When ever any of us needed him we knew we could count on him. He taught me anything that I know that's worth knowing. He was the person I went to for advice. He was the hardest worker I knew. He was my rock. He was the definition of a family man. There isn't a thing in the world I wouldn't trade to have him back. I love you papa and I miss you dearly. Give puppy a kiss for me cause god knows he'd never let anyone else close enough to kiss him.

My uncle Frank always took the time to listen to me and talk to me when I was just a kid. I always looked up to him b/c of his business smarts and self made career. He always looked out for his family as well. RIP!

Frank is a great Man that took care of those around him, including his beloved Mother and Baby Sister.
