Dear Joan and family,
I worked with Frank for many of the 32 years at Virtua. What a very sad loss.
I'm not sure I've ever known a kinder person and really enjoyed working with him.
I know it is always said, but I want you to know I couldn't mean it more. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
He will be missed.

Joan, Mike, Emily, I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. We had a great time over the years, coaching together and hanging out as friends afterwards. He was always kind and soft spoken unless he was yelling "Michael!!" across the diamond. Then you realized he had a very BIG voice. Great guy. Good memories. Gone too soon.
He will be missed tremendously.

Some Friends you carry with you for a lifetime, even though you may only cross paths once in a while. Frank was that friend. Quiet, reserved, funny, honest, a true pleasure to be in his company......just salt of the earth. We came of age together, and once a year we gathered for our birthdays...You 12/22, Me 12/23, and Jack 12/24. It was a day for extended friends to get together, and enjoy the Holiday Spirit, one we looked forward to each year. This year we will still gather, there will be an empty seat, empty hearts, but we will share fond memories.
Our Heartfelt Thoughts and Prayers to Joan, Michael and Emily.

Joan, Michael and Emily,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Frank was such a gentle, kind man. We have missed him tremendously at Virtua Support Services. Although he was quiet and reserved, he would light up when we would ask him about you; he always spoke so lovingly and proudly of you all. May you find peace at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Terry Troy-Koff
