Mary,
Your stories about Frank always made me laugh and you spoke of him highly as being a good man. Although I only met him one short time, I could see the love you two shared. I'm sad I won't be able to hear any new stories about Frank, but I find comfort in knowing he's in a place where he is ailment free and healthy.

I was on the Rogers High School football team with Frank in the mid-1960's. Although small in stature Frank was a formidable presence on both offense and defense and a great team mate. Frank also grew up on Dean Avenue just a few houses from my grandparents who always spoke highly of both Frank and his brother John, also a great Rogers football player. Please accept my most sincere condolences on your loss.
