To the family of my good friend Frank. Frank you and my dad served on the USS South Dakota during WW2 and I know dad shares your loss as well. I will always remember the times my Mom and Dad met you at the reunions in Sioux Falls, Norfolk and elsewhere. My boys still talk about the time you had them pose with your pet skunk in front of your home. I will miss you Frank and will always think fondly of both you and Mary. I am sure that when you approach the gates of Heaven, God will welcome you with a loud "Come aboard sailor and join your shipmates".

We're really going to miss Frank, he was a good man. We had many humerous & very "opinionated" conversations over the years. It was always a good time seeing him and talking dogs, politics, newspapers and whatever. I worked with Frank and had a lot of respect for him, he was truly one of a kind. Please accept our sincere condolences.
