Cindy & the Barbaro Family
It was my pleasure to know, learn & work with the "Cruiser". We shared a lot of laughs. Many years ago I had a young family & things were tough, Frank took a layoff for me. I never forgot. May he rest in peace.

My sympathy to Frank's family. I worked with him several times and knew him outside of work also. He was a solid, stand-up guy that I was proud to know.

My condolences go out to the family. I talked to Frankie when I would go and visit my dad there - my dad passed away a year ago on June 22nd from Alzheimers. Frankie was a funny and great guy - he was also a big flirt - just loved him. Sue
