Dear Joan and family,
I worked with Frank for many of the 32 years at Virtua. What a very sad loss.
I'm not sure I've ever known a kinder person and really enjoyed working with him.
I know it is always said, but I want you to know I couldn't mean it more. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
He will be missed.
