Not sure what to say?

Seven years gone by and still missing you, you old fart. Playing Merle and Patsy Cline for you tonight at the horseshoe.

Frank- I recall and will always credit you with your reflection on life one late evening at duck camp: "There is nothing better in life than enjoying the three 'B's: boats, beer, ... and guns." Indeed. Thank you for the stories.

Frank, I will miss sharing our jokes and our cribbage games, our love of women and King salmon. You may not be in heaven but I know you are in dog heaven.

I met Frank at Squires a couple years ago before enlisting in the Army...he had amazing military stories to tell..RIP.

Good Ol' Frank! You always made me laugh. You have such a good soul! I will miss you...especially your "heeeerrre ducky, ducky" joke!

I just met Frank for the first time last year during the derby at Amalga. Very nice man. My condolences to his close friends and his family. I will miss seeing him at Amalga this summer for the derby! Hope you're fishing up there for the big one Frank!

going to miss you

Thanks for your friendship and conversations at work at the ACMP. Our shared love of King salmon fishing around Tee Harbor gave us plenty to talk about. I will miss seeing you out on the water with Art and your other fishing buddies. I will miss your infectious chuckle and keen observations about how lucky we are to share in the beauty and bounty of our SE surroundings.

A sad farewell to a friend that didn't want to be a father, I will remember the loons, and your quiet, patient voice always
