We at Summit ElderCare will miss Frank very much. His humor, his love for chocolate (which we were all too happy to indulge) and his love for his family touched us all. I will personally miss sitting with Frank and hearing about all of his accomplishments throughout his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
