Sorry for your loss.
I remember Frank when he used to play saxaphone in the "Live Music Band" with my father Kenny. He was always so nice to me when I was a little kid at the band practices. I can still picture him playing the sax on stage! He was a good musician..

Everyone, I miss him. He and I shared a birthday, and now it will be a little lonely. We'd be switched numbers this June, I'd be 18 and he'd be 81. Uncle Frank I miss you greatly, we all do. I remember when Wolfgang, Wes, the girls and I would come to your and Aunt Dee's house for parties. Wes driving all of us in his new little car. Watching movies in the basement. Just being there.... I'm almost positive it was at your house I played Ping Pong for the first time :) I wish I had known he was home the last 3 months, I wanted to see him..... I never got to say goodbye while he was alive... The funeral was lovely, and I know you're probably playing the sax for the big G right now :)
