When a man lives his life with the love and values that Frank had, he leaves his family with no regrets and nothing left unsaid. That is the greatest gift.

Sorry for your loss, Geri. I wish I had known Frank better-- we had a couple of very interesting lunches, and I enjoyed his conversation and ideas very much.

The BEST big brother, I considered him to be all mine,amidst seven siblings he was generous,caring,kind,all the qualities of his boy scout creed, honest, God fearing,an being an altar boy put him in good stead for his life to be. The O'Connor clan with Mom in the lead will welcome him with her tea and scones. Lori
