I am late but just discovered that Frank has passed. He was my boss at Clark. I never worked for a finer person. The world lost a superior person.

To the Tetreault family: I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I remember Mr. Tetreault as a great family man. When we were younger, he was often taking his kids to baseball practice, fishing, camping, etc--It always seemed to me that the Tetreaults were always "doing something" and I often was invited to go along which I loved. I am certain he will be greatly missed--May he rest in peace.

Frank was a great inspiration to all that met him. His quiet, kind and gentle manner was always so comforting. Whether I ran into him at the mall, where he was people watching, or out and about with his friend Larry he always remembered my name and had something nice to say. He would make me laugh when he told me he was listening to me with "his good ear". My condolences to his family, especially to Keith and Kevin. You were very lucky to have him as long as you have. I'll miss him very much and will keep you all in my prayers.

Mr Tetreault, would still give you a run for your money, even at his age. He certainly kept his family on their toes. He was always a delight to see at family gatherings, and you could tell it was delighted him. God Bless you all, T will be greatly missed.
