Not sure what to say?

My Dad, Paul Thompson just heard of Franks passing, and he is doing a bit of reminiscing. Dad has many happy memories of Seascape. In retirement, he often flew with "Gillespie" and had many good times with him in Florida. Our deepest condolences to his family.

My father-in-law Frank was a wonderful husband,father,grandfather and great-grandpa. He did it all. From Restaurant man of the year, golfing, sailing and flying. He will be missed (Nancy Smith)

I don't think I could find words that say it better than the respectful person two postings above mine.... I didn't personally know him but "Everybody loved the Seascape because everyone loved the genuinely welcoming warmth etc."
Respectfully,
Karen

Grandpa was a very special man. I learned so much from him. I am thankful for all he has done for our family. He was loving to my wife and children. Many life lessons learned along with amazing times growing up and growing older. You will be missed Grandpa. May you rest in peace with Nana.

A self made man who wore many hats: u.s navy, restarauntor, aviator as well as accomplished sailor. He will be sorely missed and always loved but never forgotten. We love you uncle frank. Paul and Caroline Gillespie

Everybody loved The Seascape because everyone loved the genuinely welcoming warmth of Mr. Gillespie and the outstanding cuisine he served with the help of a wonderful staff. A man, a host such as Frank was and is a rare treasure. Thanks to Frank, may he be greeted by his legions of friends high above!
