Dear Randy, Tracy, TJ, Kelly and Family,
Just learned of your loss. Frank was a great father. I have wonderful memories of Frank and your family when I was recruiting Tracy for Lafayette and when he attended our games.
My prayers are with you.

Randy, my dearest friend. I am so sorry for this huge loss...I remember your husband graciously giving my late husband an autographed picture and you surprising me with it as a Christmas gift...you were and will always be that bright light for me....
