Joy, Frank and Jessica, my sincerest condolences of Frank's passing. I remember all too well what a genuine person Frank was. I remember helping him move the boat from the side porch to the backyard around 1972, when he completed the project. I always looked forward to seeing him at Stockel family functions. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Dante Natale

I'm so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He was always there with a smile..to lend a hand..or just visit. We had a great group on Grove Avenue. He will be missed by all that knew him.

May his memory be eternal..., Ree Goumas Jost
