I was just st thinking of him and wondering how he was doing. He was my first boss at Bank of America in 1970. A true professional and family man. I will always remembering his quick wit and all that I learned from him. May God be with his family during this time of loss.

Few of us from when we worked together at the Bank of America in Sylmar are still here to send messages of condolence for Mr. D'Elia.

(Of course, in those days, we would never think of calling him 'Frank'!)

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
