Dear Janine and family,
How blessed we were to have known "the Perk". He had a sharp mind, a heart like a lion, and a true passion for life; especially, good food and music. I'll always remember how his face lit up when my dad and I went to visit him at rehab and snuck in a Brighams strawberry frappe. I last spoke with Frank in January when in true Perk fashion, he called me to ask for info he needed to help a friend. We shared our excitement about the Obama Inauguration and had a few laughs. Frank will always be remembered as a legend in Lynn; well-respected and admired for all the ways he gave back to the community. What a role model he was for all of us.

On behalf of my parents and brothers, please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of such a terrific guy.

Frank,
The gentleman, and always with a smile, from the time I was a newhire off the street to the day I left as Operations Manager...always a class act, you were and will always be respected as one of the best co workers ever. Rest in Peace "Mr Perk"...and Janine...you and Frank attended my wedding in 1986 along with the almost entire Wakefield sales force. You two got everyone on the dancefloor and then no one stoppped. My deepest sympathies to you now.
Love

Dear Janine and family,

It was a sad moment when I heard of Frank"s passing. Shortly thereafter memories of our years together at "Ma Bell", Celtics games , the "Y" and other good times we spent together brought a smile to my face. Frank was at my house in 1975 when Sue brought Jodi home from the hospital(as a newborn). What a great man , what a great person what a great friend. He will be missed by all. Love and blessings to you and the family , Eldon and Sue Goodhue

Dear Janine, Please accept my deepest sympathies. You may not remember me. I worked with Frank in the Stoneham office along with Sully, Wanda Billici and a few others. I was their clerk. He was a great guy.
