I’m going to truly miss the random calls with my Uncle Frank but am incredibly thankful for the ones we were able to have. He wasn’t only a caring and loving soul but a fantastic human that made an impact in many ways.

Toasting to you Uncle Frank!

Love,
Mary

So grateful I got the chance to speak with him after so many years had passed. He was so proud of his family and so full of life. May you find the support you need with each other during this difficult time. RIP Frank.
