Not sure what to say?

September, 2013 - celebrating my mother´s birthday. I was newly pregnant with my daughter here.

Thank you to the Schnall Family for keeping my father´s memory alive. He did have that great laugh and I miss him every day. He always joked that clients paid him for advice yet his children never listened. Well, we did listen and he is missed terribly. His brain worked liked a thesaurus. He could answer almost any question, and his no nonsense commentary was always entertaining and educational. He left a big void in our family and is missed every day.

It's now been 8 years since Frank O'Brien passed away and we continue to miss him. He had been a trusted and wise counselor and also a dear personal friend for at least 20 years, if not longer. We still think of him often and still miss him at our business meetings and our major family events, such as wedding anniversary celebrations. In addition, no one we've ever known had a chuckle like Frank's. We heard it often and we still miss it. There will never be another Frank O'Brien. Norman and...

Our 2014 message remains ostensibly the same. We still miss Frank O'Brien very much and often invoke his spirit by asking ourselves in times of uncertainty, "What would Frank say ?" or "What would Frank do?" He always had the right answer.

Frank OBrien was not only a brilliant attorney and wise business advisor, he was also one of the kindest, most honest and warm human beings we had ever known. We miss him still, not only professionally, but also as a friend and personal confidant. I can still see his cheerful smile and hear his happy chuckle. We will never forget him.

I am so sorry to hear of Frank passing. I remember first meeting him when he was at carpenter Bennett. It was a privilege working with him through the years for mutual clients. I remember well his wit and how he loved to laugh. My sympathy to Frank's family. Rest in peace Frank.

Sad to hear of Frank's passing. Not recently but we enjoyed many good dinners over the years and I have fond memories of his sense of humor and kindness.Best to Maureen and family.

RIP My deepest condolences to the family. It was such an honor working for Mr. O' Brien. Will always be remembered as a kind, warm, lovely human being.
