Frank genuinely loved all the people who gathered around him over the years and became his extended family. He's been a loving parent and grandfather, and the greatest husband, companion, and friend to my mother, Germaine. I'll forever miss his grin when we shared a toast over glasses of his favorite red wine. He once told me to remember only two things; "travel with your wife, and keep your familiy close. Everything else is just work".
