I am sad to read of your Father's passing. It seems I remember Frank Gaylord from my earliest memories. Saturday morning golf with Frank, my Dad and Silvio Nativi - your Dad flexing his muscles and jumping over his 1 wood ... until he saw the light, bought a boat and took up fishing. And the shed on Delmont Avenue with all the clay models your Dad sculpted. Your Dad was truly something special.

Vicky, Leanne and John, I'm very sorry to hear about Frank's passing. I have many fond memories of Frank and Mary and spending time at the house watching Chicago Bears football. I remember Frank telling me stories about his experiences as a soldier during WWII. I wish you all the best during this time of loss and will keep you in my prayers. Dan Morse

So sorry to hear of his passing. I'm told he was a distant relative. My grandmother was a Gaylord from Clarksburg, WVa. My husband and I visited the Korean War memorial some years ago and it was quite a moving experience. Sorry I never got to meet him.
