As a close friend of Sylvia Gordon, I had the honor of meeting Frank and spending many wonderful times with him and her. We enjoyed fabulous times on the Sibrat, trips to Maine for chili contests, long discussions of politics, and lots of laughs. Frank adored his sons and his grandchildren, cultivated a great garden and made the best pesto ever. He was not just a man, but a just man. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.
