Frank and I worked on the same crew at Bethlehem Steel Fire Dept. We had a great time and became very good friends. I was very sad to learn of his passing late after it occurred. I tried to reach his cousin Jackie Willis but could not. He will be remembered for his laughter and quotes and barbecue cooking.
