Frank will always be remembered as the best quarterback at SRHS. I was a freshman in the band when he was a senior and we enjoyed every game. Jackie lived across the street from us, and my late brother John Walker actually recalled Jackie's exact house number. In fact, Crabiel is handling John's funeral next week.

My deepest condolences to the Riepl family. I was one of Francis's classmates at SRHS and remember him as an outstanding athlete and student. If life is just a dream Francis was indeed blessed with a beautiful one. Noteworthy was his wonderful marriage to Jackie for over six decades with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. What more can anyone ask. This was a wonderful life. May you rest in peace. You will be missed by all of your classmates that are left.

The Riepl family--My condolences for your loss. Of course, Frank will live in the hearts of all who knew him. But he will also remain in the memory of a fifteen-year old boy from upstate Pennsylvania. who can still see in his mind's eye Frank's 108-yard kickoff return against Notre Dame in 1955. God bless you all. John Strick

Our deepest condolences to your family. Frank was a good friend and neighbor to everyone here in Walkers Glen. His big smile, and sweet tooth, were as legendary here as his famous football return. May the angels smile over you both, Frank and Jackie, as you share eternal life together. Joe and Martha Teixeira

Our deepest condolences to the family. We will miss him here in Vero Beach, Walkers Glen West. Tom and Jean Check
