Mary, my prayers and thoughts are with you and the family on the loss of Frank. I worked for Frank at Miller Container and he was very helpful to me both as a production employee and as a office employee. He greatly assisted me when I went to Winston-Salem in 1968 to help start Southern Corrugated Box. I am gratitful to have had the opportunity to work for and learn from him. He will be missed.
