Not sure what to say?

Frank gave me a start in acting when I scarcely believed in myself. I will miss you, Frank. - Ryan

Dear Frank,
I lost you for so many years, but never stopped thinking about you and wonderful Richard whom we lost too many years ago. I’m SO happy to read that you had a happy life, finding Al, surrounded by so many who, like me, loved you.

I met Frank and Al when I first came to New York. I was studying voice at MSM and worked for them at Pop Cowboy. It was a great place and it was great getting to know them. Soon after, Frank asked me to sing Yum-Yum in The Mikado at The Theatre Barn. He was a joy to work with and we kept in touch for years. My husband and I even visited Frank and Al in CA once and saw one of Frank's shows there. Frank was so hospitable and nice always. I'm sorry we lost touch over the years, but I always...

My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you, and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)

I had the pleasure of working with Frank in New London, New Hampshire and for Sierra Rep in California--He was such a fine soul, and I am grateful to have had him touch my life. My sympathy to his family and the people most close to him...I will miss knowing he is not around any longer...

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He and I worked here in NY on a couple of projects and he was such a treat to be around. I have such happy memories of those times. He both directed a play of mine and was in one of my plays. I am very saddened to hear of his death.

To the Frank Latson family, especially Harvey, I am so sorry to hear about Frank passing. I always remember our days at W-P with a big smile. We sure had fun, didn't we! My thoughts are with you now.

I was fortunate to perform in a production of City of Angels that Frank directed in 1994. He was a wonderful director who taught me so much about performing. And he was a dynamic and kind man.

Frank was a dear friend who I was honored to know. He was a talent with a big heart and I'm a better person for having had him in my life. My love goes out to Al, his partner and my dear friend and his family and friends, some of who I had the pleasure to meet in during our time as co-workers at SRT years back and in Dallas in 2015.
