Alice & family: I only just now heard about Frank's passing. In the very early 80s, I had been blackballed from the industry due to the actions of my former employer and Frank took a chance, hired me and put me under the mentorship of Ira Feincle z"l. The three years I worked for Frank laid the foundation for a thirty year career as a framer that I never would have experienced without Frank's leap of Faith. He was a mensch.

Alice & family: It is with deep regret to learn of Frank's passing. He will certainly be missed. My fondest memories are of your late night visits to the Hideout when Frank would go to the lake, put on the light & stare out at the water. Also him falling into the water when he first learned to use the kayak.
