To Frank's family:
I first met Frank in the late 1950's when he was a FHLB examiner. Later when I became the CEO of Interstate Federal, our relationship deepened. Frank was always available to discuss regulatory issues and he usually came up with a helpful solution to any problems. I know that his family and friends will miss his sweet spirit. God bless his memory.

Mrs. Passarelli:

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband Frank. Frank and Bob Littler hired me when I started with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board on 08-15,1971. He was a great and kind person and I will always remember him.

Please note that everything is going to be alright.
