I was so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I remember meeting both of you when I first moved to State College more than 25 years ago. You were members of the Women's Welcome Club pinochle group. I remember how devoted the two of you were to each other. Later, when both my children attended your preschool Frank always had a kind word to say in passing when I would drop off the children. May God Bless all of the family.

I worked with Frank at the PSAA. He was PSU's biggest fan! He will be greatly missed by many Penn Staters. It was definitely a pleasure to know FX. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I am so sad upon hearing of Frank's passing. I worked with Frank for 12 years and he could always make me laugh and was such a wonderful man and a delight to work with. I have such fond memories of him and it was a pleasure to know him.

It was great fun to work with Frank at Penn State. He was a dedicated alum and a sincerely kind man. It was an honor to have known him. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Dear Marge and family,
Although we did not know Frank, we were sorry to hear of his passing. Seeing him each Sunday in church with you made us aware of his couragous and long fight.
You are both in our prayers and thoughts.
Richard and Marie Mollo

My deepest sympathies to the whole family. I knew Frank when I was a Lion Ambassador at Penn State (1986-88), and he was such a friendly, funny and kind man. We all enjoyed time spent with him. He was a sweetheart.

To Aunt Marge, All of the Clan O'Brien (not enough to room to list all of you) and all who were fortunate enough to have know Frank O'Brien (FX) I extend my deepest sympathies and prayers to you.

Having known Frank for such a brief 18 years I can only say no man has lived a life more to the fullest.

He touched so many lives deeply and completely. Frank showed a sincere interest in all whom he met, if even for the first time. He had the innate and rare ability to make...

Marge and family, we are blessed to have known Frank for many years. Perk, I and the kids have many fond memories together with you and Frank. Tonight we drink some Chardonnay with crackers and recall his many one liners. Much love, The Perkins Gang - Perk, Tammy, Kiera, Brighid and Colman

I know Frank will be dearly missed by many. I had the great pleasure of working for the Penn State Alumni Association in Frank's office in the late 1980's. Frank always took time to talk with me and other Lion Ambassadors he came in contact with during his day. His sense of humor made those around him feel at ease. He was a great guy who will be missed by all who knew him.
