I was saddened to read about your dad's passing, as I know how close you were, and how much you adored him.

I used to be a travel agent at Los Alamitos Travel where Frank would usually make his travel arrangements. It was always a delight to see him coming in the door as he kept us all entertained with many varied stories of his acting career as well as his many travel tales; his most favorite destination being Malaysia. It was a pleasure to have touched bases with this fine gentleman who was well grounded and made everyone feel as though he was your friend.
