Frank there was only one you! You helped so many of us! You will never be Forgotten! Mike Iwasiwka

Frank was a mentor and a great umpire and will never be forgotten!

Frank umpired a game at FJC. There was a “bang-bang” play at home and Frank called our runner “out”! Of course, I ran out to question the call, telling him that the runner was tagged before he got to the plate! He stuck with his guns and stayed with his call. We ended up losing the game. Frank called me the next morning and asked me if he could come watch the play? We taped the game and I told him that it wasn’t necessary to come and look at the tape. He told me that he had a hard time...

Coach Lerner was a man that I held in high regard and whom I admired tremendously in my youth. As with the many other young men that Frank helped guide, I benefited from his instruction both on and off the field. Coach Lerner expected the best from you and encouraged you when you needed it. I'll never forget our Anaheim Chargers team and his leadership. A precious memory that I have of Coach Lerner was on my first Freshman football game. I was very nervous. As a captain, I walked across...

Frank was a person I would never forget. I was on his undefeated 1979 Anaheim Chargers Pop Warner football team. We were the best team around. I look back at his dedication to teaching young kids like myself at the time about football and how to work for what you want in life. He has never left my memories and that is saying quite a bit since it was almost 40 years ago. We need more people like him in this world. You were one of a kind Frank! God bless.....

I met Frank in 1961. We shared the same career path for over 35 years. He was my best friend for over 45 years. We enjoyed family inclusion on both sides, shared our successes and failures and experienced the good life together, as good friends should.
Approaching 80 years of age will not permit me another friendship of such tenure, nor would I expect to find another friend whose loyalty could match Franks.
He was truly "one of a kind" and is sorely missed by those who really knew...

My Uncle Frank touched so many lives, and it is heartwarming to see how his positive influence rubbed off on so many. He truly was one of a kind, and he will be missed.

I love you Uncle Frank
