Joye: May God bless you and your family during this time of sorrow. We were shocked of his illness and pray God's blessing on you. It was a pleasure to be your friends while here in Greeley. Larry and Terry

Joye, Maury, Tony, Hattie, Nate, and family. You all are in our prayers. One of the reasons why fishing is such a huge part of my life is because of the family fishing trips that we took together when I was a kid. And to think that we only let one car roll into a lake during all those trips. I was blessed that I was able to play a final round of golf with Frank back in September. We talked a lot about the 60 year best friendship that he and my dad had and he even shared some stories with me that I was not aware of about their grade school days. He loved his family, his friends but especially his creator. We were all lucky to have him as long as we did. With love and incredibly fond memories. Mike Parker and family
