Frank Legacy was a true gentleman. His smile was sincere. He spent much of his time praying for others, even those he hardly knew. If Our Lord wants his soldiers to worship in church regularly, serve others with gladness, to be kind, gentle and forgiving, then we can all take comfort in knowing Frank is now in a far better place. His smile is now is bigger and brighter than ever !
Thank you for serving our country. You encompassed all which made your generation one of the worlds greatest...

My Uncle Frank was a character and dearly loved. He was stubborn but devoted to his family and his wife, Helen. I'm sure there has been a joyous reunion in Heaven with Helen and all his siblings. I'll miss him but I have many enduring memories. I loved that we would go their house every 4th of July and watch the fireworks from their front yard. Bless you, Uncle Frank. Rest In Peace and I'll see you again someday.
