A group of Frank's classmates were trying to find him when we learned of his passing in May. All of us are so sorry to hear this. My twin brother passed away in July of last year and he and Erman as we knew him were valedictorian and salutatorian. They had to go back to the sixth grade to break the tie between the two of them. He was a kind and gentle classmate as he was a kind and gentle man. We are so sorry for your loss.
