If I can paraphrase a statement I heard yesterday from Regina King re. her son Ian passing's... "Grief is love that has no place to go," And that we all handle it differently.

Many a memory lives on from our times with him. My only regret is that I didn't get another chance to see you my dear Frank.

Was on Soccer team with Frank, sat at same table at 20th reunion with him, sorry to hear of his passing.

Frank left us too soon. Our condolences go out to Kim, Lina, and Max as well as Frank´s sisters. Whether it was walking to the train at 5:30 AM, playing baseball, or enjoying a beverage after softball, Frank was always fun, interesting, and engaging. He was a natural leader on the baseball diamond and the soccer field. Frank was the best first baseman I saw play in the old Central Suburban League.

I have only wonderful memories of Frank, he was like a big brother, so kind and caring. My sincerest sympathies to Kim and family.

My condolences to the Goldak family and all of Frank's loved ones. I had not been in touch with Frank for several years but have never forgotten what a remarkable and wonderful soul he is. Like a few others who have left a condolence and memory, we were classmates at ETHS, played ball together in our youth and then for years as adults, and we ran into each other downtown quite often. Perhaps the warmest memories are those of hanging out at Frank's home in north Evanston after a ballgame when...

Frank and Kim have been our friends and neighbors for over 30 years. Our children grew up together. We will miss Frank's, smile, laugh and sense of humor. At dinner parties, we loved hearing. Frank sing the Frank Sinatra tune The Way you Look Tonight.
Greg always enjoyed commuting with Frank to Chicago. They were always an entertaining experience listening to his take on subjects. Many fond memories of working with him at the CME.
Love and miss you Frank.
Prayers to Kim, Max...
