Frank Altimore

Frank and I were freshman football recruits at MSU in 1962. I was from Canton, Ohio, not to far from Frank´s Pittsburgh. We connected and were friends and roommates in one form or another until 1966.

R.I.P. Frank. You will be missed by many people. GOD bless you. Our deepest sympathies are with you Connie and your family.

Even though we didn't know him well, Frank Altimore was 'larger than life' in Midland!! Good for Him and All of You!! Our Condolences to you all!

I was a teammate of Frank´s at Central Catholic. He was a funny guy, but tough as nails. Nobody messed with him on the field. I´m sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Dear Connie, We were so sorry to hear of Franks passing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. He will be missed.
