Sorry to hear of Uncle Frank's passing. I really enjoyed reconnecting with him during the last ten years working on the family history album. The talks we shared about the our family will be remembered forever.
Bev, Kaye, and Larry...losing a parent or member of the family is never easy. Always remember the good times.
Love you,

Dearest Beverly and family,
My deepest condolences on your dads passing. I considered it an honor and pleasure to know him and treat him for therapy. Through it all he did manage to keep a pretty good spirit

To the Peterson Families;
I remember Frank as being a nice fellow when my parents rented a couple of places from him when he owned all that land on NE Indian Creek Road all the way to NE Meriden Road and from NE 58th to NE 62nd. Frank was a great man and fun to joke with. I know that he will surely be missed as I too lost my parents and I still miss them today. May God Bless you all with all his kind memories.
