Hi Patty;
I was just thinking about Frank this morning and decided to see if I could find his address. I was absolutely shocked to discover that he had passed on. As you may recall, we had a lot of fun playing golf together.
Lola and I now live in San Antonio, Tx. I don't play much anymore. Legs. I need a cane to get around. What was it that Bette Davis once said? "Growing old is not for sissies."
If you'd like to get in touch, my e-mail is [email protected]. 931-216-1059.
Deepest regards.

Dear Patty,

When Chuck & I opened the paper this morning, we were taken back with shock and sadness. Frank was a great guy. He always made us feel welcome at church, and fun to play golf with. He will be missed.

Take care of yourself Patty, because it is the ones left behind that hurt the most.

Sincerely,

Chuck & Margaret Smith

Very sad to lose Frank. A great official with a genuine love for the athletes and the game, whatever sport that was at the time. A patriot and a friend.
