Debbie,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. He was always so nice to me. I'll always remember the good times we had at your house and the family picnics (especially the volleyball games) when we were kids back in the 60's.

Dear Doris,
You and Frank were the most wonderful friends and neighbors I could have ever had. So many warm and fond memories I have of sharing conversations...”over the fence”. You were the only “family” that helped me move to Williamsburg when I had to leave, I have never forgotten your love and support. All my love,
JoJo

Dear Doris- Chuck and I are so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. He was such a good man, and when Chuck talks about work, he always says that Frank was THE best supervisor he has ever had or known. Chuck also likes telling stories about the fun (and scary!) fishing trips they had together. We both admired Frank very much.Our deepest sympathies go out to you and all your family...You are in our thoughts and prayers...Chuck and Lynn Bryant

My deepest sympathy to Uncle Frank's family. I have not seen him in many years since I moved to Maryland, but know that my dad - Ben McIntosh has stayed in touch with him. Our family was always very fond of him.
I wish peace and spiritual healing for the family during this time of deep sadness and loss.

We are so sad to hear of Franks passing. We didn't know him personally. But live in the neighborhood. Thought Frank was the Wood splitter god and was in AWE of his stamina. May the Lord Bless you and your Family at this great time of sorrow.
