Please accept my sincere condolences for the family and friends of Francis T. "Frank" Pacheco. Among other tasks, Jesus was "to bind up the brokenhearted" and "comfort all who mourn."-Isaiah 61:1,2. Hoping this offers a measure of solace during your time of sorrow.

I always enjoyed hearing Frank tell his stories about his past and, of course, his golf adventures. He was quick-witted and fun. Rest in peace, Frank.

I will never forget Frank's humor and personality. Although these are hard times we should be soothed thinking of the good times we shared together. Will remember Frank in my thoughts and in my heart.
