Rosemary
I only had the pleasure of working with Frank during the last 5 years. My regret is that I did not get to know him better. Everything I heard today about his attitude toward people and work, I can confirm. It was reflected in the respect his co- workers and management showed. It was a wonderful service this morning - a true celebration of a great man.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had such wonderful times at your home and loved Frank's "booming" voice and his complete honesty. He was/is a great man and I believe he is now living it up in Heaven! My prayers are with you, Rosemary, Marie, and Nick during this most difficult time.
