Hello Dawn and Todd,
I just recently found out about your father passing. Although it's been many years since I've seen him it sure hurts knowing he's gone. I used to visit with him on occasion when I was up to see my grandmother and always enjoyed our talks. You were blessed having such a wonderful father.

I had the pleasure of working with Frank at Tobyhanna many years ago. Although I have been away for many years I can still recall his quiet cleverness. He was a pleasure to be around.
