Francis Edward Tate II

You are missed and loved Frank. I'm grateful for your friendship and laughter.

I had lost touch with Frank. To be honest I just found out yesterday of his passing! Was reading all the beautiful things people had to say about him... I only knew him a few years... but he had the type of spirit that made laugh amazing... thank you Frank...

Frank was known by friends for his quick wit, boundless generosity, and genuine curiosity about life´s many mysteries. A daft conversationalist, he was both an expert storyteller and a particularly deep listener, a supportive friend and trusted confidant to many. He had an uncanny ability to connect with people from all walks of life and a genuine interest in the lives of others. His affable demeanor and unassuming nature put everyone at ease whether they were meeting him for the first time...

Ed Tate had a great personality. He was always so full of emotional energy. He was a friend to me.

So sorry to hear about Frank’s passing.... I loved having him in the Jazz Ensemble at Fessenden. He was always about the music and he was the first student I had who played the upright bass ! Frank was very passionate about everything he did and was very well-liked by everyone he encountered. I hope he is now at peace...

Frank was a real friend in the truest sense of the word. His laughter could brighten any room and his generosity and kindness was endless. Frank will be missed dearly and my deepest condolences extend to all who feel his loss.

Frank was a wonderful soul. We crossed path many times over the past decade. He was always so gentle, kind, and attentive. When you were talking to Frank you knew he was listening. It is a terrible to hear of his passing and I want his family to know I will keep them in my prayers. I am grateful to have known Frank, Rest In Peace my friend.

We met Frank at his most recent job as a concierge at our building. He always brought a smile to our faces, was friendly, extremely polite, and always made our dog wag our tail. Well always remember the smartly-dressed Frank and his gentle manner. Thank you for sharing him with us.
