We think of Frank often. He and Irv made quite a team. So grateful to have such wonderful memories and we often reflect back to the years when Max, Rose, Polly, Irv, Frank and Camylle were sharing great times.. We're grateful that many wonderful stories were shared with us and our family.

Frank was a longtime friend to the Kaufman Family. We shared many memories. When we were in Florida, it was a pleasure to visit. Our last visit was October 2016 and we are so grateful for that time since we live in Indiana. Frank was an inspiration in many ways. He and Camylle are together again. We are blessed to have several of his paintings which we have always treasured. He will be missed.
