Not sure what to say?

I just seen this and it makes me sad. I loved Frank such a delightful bird...he was a supervisor for a janitorial job i once had. As far as bosses, well As far as friends go..he was a good guy.....

Condolences to Frank’s family and friends, he will surely be missed. Frank was a very kind soul and always willing to lend a hand. He helped with getting my dock set up when I lived in Dexter and I enjoyed talking with him out on the deck at Zeke’s Lookout. God speed Frank.

Frank, I still don’t have the right words to express my sadness and grief over your passing. I pray for your Mom, Tracy and your girls for the peace of God.

Frank may you rest in peace my friend I haven’t seen you in 30 years but I never forgot about you my heart goes out to your family

Frank was truly a good neighbor,, even though we seen less of each other in the last ten years I always enjoyed are talks when he stopped by on his wheeler,I will always remember the good times by the fires in are younger years.

I am so sorry for your loss. Franky was the little brother to myself and 2 other sisters when we were younger you did a awesome job. You gramma and everyone else must be playing penny pitch at block. Rest easy.

Frank, his sister Tracy, and I grew up together. I remember all the fun we use to have sitting on a front porch, just playing for hours. My thoughts are with his mom, sister, and the rest of his family. You will be missed
