Frank was a class act in a business not terribly known for such. He left us way too soon.

Frank was a dear friend for nearly 30 years and always impressed me with his cheerfulness and capacity to always be there for those he loved. His photography skills produced some of the most memorable pictures that our family has. Rest In Peace, you will be surely missed.
