Not sure what to say?

Dear Boatwright Family - I just learned of Frank's passing before the new year and I am so deeply saddened by the news. I worked for Frank and his "boys" in Export Service and have so many great memories of that time.

Frank hired me and was my mentor early in my career with GM. He was a gentleman and well respected. We stayed in touch over the years and recently expressed my gratitude for Frank’s help early in my career. Frank will always live on in our memory.

I considered Frank as my first mentor at EMD. His guidance and friendship have always been greatly appreciated. I'm glad I had the opportunity to thank him for this when I last talked with him at the LMOA / RSA show this past year. He will always be fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. My sympathy to the family and hope there is comfort knowing he was so well respected. Condolences,

I worked for Frank early in my career at EMD. He was one of the nicest guys I knew at EMD and a great boss and friend. I always looked forward to seeing Frank at the trade shows and catching up on old times. I will miss him.
