Not sure what to say?

I was very saddened to learn of Frank's passing. I met him and his mother 50 years ago when he arrived on the NYU Campus as a freshman. He sang in the NYU Glee Club and returned several times as an alumnus to take part in our anniversary concerts. His tenor voice, smile and friendship will be missed!

We knew you for only a short time when you lived in New Hampshire but you will live in our hearts forever

Frank at 135th NYU Choral Reunion Concert

To the Luiz Family - I met Frank after I moved to Tucson. I found out that he and I went to NYU and sang in the Glee Club. We shared many wonderful memories and I was looking forward to continuing my friendship.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Jennifer and family,

It says above in the directions, if you need help finding the right words, well............do I need help! This came as a hard hit. You know how I love you guys and to have had 5 children of my own and 5 more son's on top of that, wow! I have been blessed to have known you all. Just one more time Mr.Frank, I am your favorite Red Head!!!!! Frank will be dearly missed. This is a new season Jennifer and we will talk about that as we continue to have our...

Frank was my supervisor for a time at Pima County RWRD. He was a kind, gentle soul that never turned away from a person in need. After Frank retired, I went through a deep personal crisis of my own. Frank met with me and led me to the right places. I know that God is holding him in the palm of his hand right now.

To Jennifer & Family
Our prayers are with you. I was so happy that we were able to meet in person in Scottsdale after all the years that had passed. Meeting Frank was like meeting a brother I hadn't seen in years. It was wonderful. I just thought we had more time. You are our family do not forget that.

I was very young when Mike married my sister, but we established a warm friendship that lasted more than 40 years. I will never forget how he and Jen and the boys sheltered me that summer as I healed from a broken heart. And I'm pretty sure he got me hooked on Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66. He will be sorely missed!

Jen, Tony, Joe, Thomas, Daniel:

"Francisco Miguel Luiz, Francisco Miguel Luiz, came north of the border to marry Fav's daughter, Francisco Miguel Luiz."

I loved Mike from day 1 and I'll miss him always. His spirit lives within Tatiana. God Bless!
