Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace my dear cousin, Frank. The summers I spent at your parents house were some of the best times of my life. I stood in awe of your impeccable fashion sense, the adventurous stories of your world travels, and much deeper your kind heart and grace. In later years you treated my mother as if she were your own and exchanged letters, calls and visits with her that were profoundly meaningful. Your memory will always be a blessing to those who knew and loved you.

My sincere condolences to my old pal Joe and all of the O'Connor family. May you be comforted by the memories of what sounds like a full life lived. RIP Frank.

Frank (good name) was a really good guy whom I met later in life, though we both went to the same HS. Have known his wife's family for well over 50 years and anyone in that group you know has to be top shelf! Judy I am so so sorry for your loss! Pam and I will keep you in our thoughts!

Frank touched us all without having to ever lift a hand. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.

I went to st Ambrose with frank.. and always remember his fantastic personality.. and am very saddened by the loss. Thoughts go out to Mary his sister and all his family.. Stephen m Dyke.. formerly of parchment mi [email protected]

Sorry Judy and O'Connor's for your loss. Many a wintery morning Frank and chatted as we walked along Parchment to the bus stop. He is remembered fondly for his gentle soul. May he rest in Eternal Peace. And may all of you be comforted with many fond memories of him.

Thanks for your service to our country! I graduated from Hackett in71´ Served Desert Storm!

It´s been many years but I will never forget how Frank and Judy both took time to guide a young incoming freshman (they were seniors)! It made the transition so much less scary for this young girl! They helped teach to avoid pitfalls and how to enter Hackett the best way possible. I knew then that Judy and Frank were meant to be more than just highschool friends and looked up to their relationship! A forever lesson. Rest in peace, Frank, and peace to all your family

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
