Sorry I didn't hear about Frank passing away until a few days ago. I thought a lot of Frank and considered him a friend. We worked together at Tultex for many years. He was such a warm and friendly person and I loved that smile. My prayers are with the family. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.
