Not sure what to say?

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family for Frank Jr as he leaves us all way too soon. Frank will be surely missed by all who knew and loved him.

I remember Miranda telling me about meeting Frank, over 30 years ago the story began and so many memories in between. How do you say goodbye when the trip was cut short? As family continues to surround each other , to share pictures and stories , let us always look at Mel & Nick and know that a part of him is still with us .

I am so sorry for the loss of sweet Frank. You all are in my thoughts and prayers! Love you!

Though he was once my brother-in-law, he remained my friend long after. Family isn't always just about blood or marriage. he had a way of making people feel welcome , he was genuine,
I will always carry the laughter we shared, the fishing stories we created, the gardening tips he gave he will always be part of my story, and we will miss him dearly.

RIP Frank!

Sorry I didn’t get to see you in awhile. Hope your catching lots of fish in heaven!

Kathryn and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers

I absolutely loved Frank! He was so smart and funny, as well as such a kind person. Very very generous and always willing to help. I will miss my friend - he was one of a kind. My mom enjoyed him so much playing country music for her while redoing her flooring. She laughed and laughed with him. He was a special guy and will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him.

Condolences to the family of Frank Kearney, a loving, kind and gentle soul.

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.

The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.

The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains

For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.

May God bless you and keep you.
