Frank was an unique character. His strong conservatism made him stand out among his peers. He is one of the few I remember from Cherry Semiconductor. He will be greatly missed. My condolences and best wishes go out to his family.

MY BABY BROTHER - I LOVE HIM DEARLY AND WILL MISS HIM FOREVER. HE WAS BRILLIANT. HE WAS PASSIONATE IN EVERYTHING HE DID.

THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING THAT I ASKED HIM IN WHICH HE DID NOT HAVE AN INFORMED RESPONSE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT ALL HIS KNOWLEDGE ON SO MANY AND VARIED SUBJECTS, BUT, THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING THAT HE COULDN'T ANSWER FOR ME.

IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRCASE
AND HEARTACHES BUILD A
LANE
I'D WALK MY WAY TO HEAVEN
AND BRING HIM BACK AGAIN.

I'M HEARTBROKEN. MY BROTHER IS GONE.

Frank was a powerful soul. He loved to share his passions and voice his opinions yet he was also willing to hear out others in return. I will never forget the first time I saw Frank cleaning one of his precious guns. That memory always makes me smile. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him!

My condolences to Frank's wife and son. Frank was a wonderful person. We never agreed on politics but I so adored his passion for ploitics. I always wondered how he knew so much about random things.
We were co-workers at Cirrus.
