Not sure what to say?

Frank was a friend to my parents, Rahe & Judy Smith. Coached my older brother William Smith, in football and was also a friend to me while at Fenger. Sending the best of wishes to his family. Sherri Smith - Jones.

May His Memory Be Eternal

Coach Esposito was more than a coach. He was a person who cared about his players. The lessons I learned through him have served me my entire life. Every young man should be lucky enough to have a Coach Esposito in their life. To Coach Esposito I say farewell and thank you. To the rest of my coaches, Balough, Larkin, Rogers and Warholic, I say thank you. You all had more of an impact on my life than you can ever know. Jeff Beyer, Fenger Titan class of `74.

Frank was the best baseball coach i ever had. I leaned Moore about baseball in one summer as a 12 year old Gately all star than at any other time in my life. I learned how to pitch and to play first base- very well. I was like a sponge and Frank filled it. To this day I can critique a professional ball players technique from what I learned from Frank.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

On behalf of the Bison Football Players Association (BFPA) , we extend our sympathies to your family from our Bison brotherhood. God bless.

Sincerest sympathies to the family. Frank was a good friend of my mom and dad, Rahe & Judy Smith and visited our home often. My thoughts, prayers and memories are with his family.

My life has just gotten sadder with the passing of Coach. I first met him when I was 12 years old. I was not sure of this football thing, but he worked with me and wound up not only teaching me about the game, he also taught me about life, lessons which I still use today. I had a very short but very successful coaching career because I followed his model. He was a player's coach, and in the long run, he was a people's coach. My memories are very fond, and my life has been immeasurably...

Lori, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your wonder father. I will keep your family in my prayers. Love to you.
