Frank was a loyal and true friend, whom I worked many years with at the Sheriff's Office. He could always be counted on to show up on many of our calls and offer assistance! He was my idea of an excellent Virginia State Trooper! My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Frank.

We met Frank about five years ago when we bought our land and he came by asking about getting some fire wood,We gave him the wood and in return he came back every weekend and helped with our work until we was ready to put our home up. His kindness touched our hearts and we will never forget him.
