Not sure what to say?

It was a pleasure to work with Frank at Porsche of Annapolis all those years ago. I wanted to share a team photo from maybe 2010 or so (me to Frank's left).

Frank was a highly intelligent man who always seemed to have a smile in his voice. I miss his "hello" that was always cheerful.
He had s great deal of compassion for people and even more for pets, which he easily shared when needed.
He was, in a word, unforgettable.
I am sending a photo of college years at Michigan State University where I met him.

Warren Zevon plays in the background as I think back on our many musical artist conversations. Frank was indeed the quintessential car guy....how will I ever buy a new car without Frank's guiding words? Too short indeed, I'll miss our vibrant conversations, crossword front and center. You're up there somewhere smiling on us all .......

I am so sorry to hear this news. I knew Frank many years ago, (Algar & The Gentlemen's Mall of Rosemont). He was a kind and decent man. He will be missed by many.

In the truest sense " Frank was a car guy" and will be missed by many. May God bless him and his family.

Frank I must say you are one of the nicest people I've ever met. God Bless You. Rest in Peace

I miss my brother very much and most of what everyone has expressed captures his essence. He was larger than life and had a profound effect on all of us. His ride was,indeed, to short but he made the most of of every second. Frankie I think of you constantly with tear in eyes but with a mind and heart of great memories too numerous to count.

We are literally stunned by such tragic news. People like Franck, so full of life, so mood-lifting, so humane, seem immortal. His contagious laugh and cheerful personality will continue to echo in our minds and in our hearts.
All our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
