To the Family: Look to God for comfort, for peace of heart and mind, look to him for help and strength, look and you will find. I am praying that the Lord will gently lead you through this difficult time.

It is difficult to write through tears. Frank had become much like the older brother I never had. He was always there with his wisdom, his guidance and his friendship, and he was a raconteur without equal. He was an amazing role model for anyone who wanted to know how to live life to the fullest. In both his personal and his professional lives, he made a difference. And he dearly loved his Mary Louise. He will long be remembered and sorely missed.
