Frank was the best friend. He took to places I never would have gone on my own. He did lots of things for me. I'll miss him something awful. He was a nice guy. Too bad he's not here anymore. John Yanez

I'm very sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I know him to be a kind and supportive friend who was quick with a smile. I am grateful for his willingness to share his wisdom with an instructive (and immensely entertaining) story from his past. I wish love and comfort to Gloria. Frank, I hope someday to again enjoy your company and friendship. Thanks for everything.
