I just heard the news about Frank's passing. Frank was my instructor at Western Bible College and someone who had my respect from day one. I recall receiving a letter from him after my return to Canada after graduation, in which he advised me not to marry a man I was dating who was not a Christian. I loved him for speaking the truth and took it to heart! He will be greatly missed by many, especially you his family.

I am so terribly sad to hear this news. Frank was a great guy, incredibly scholar, and true "mensch." He lived his faith every day. My prayers go out to you, Laura, and the rest of the family. May God and fond memories be a blessing to you always. My condolences, Rachel Magdalene
