Not sure what to say?

Dear Lila, You and Frank have been dear friends of mine since the Whitney Hotel days, when I would play piano for you and the Crossons. Mary and I will never forget the wonderful dinner we had with you at our home a few years ago. What an incredibly gracious couple. God bless you and the rest of the family during this difficult time. Love, Dan & Mary Walczak.

I met Frank while at dialysis..he was seated next to me three days a week. We had many conversations involving people of the past...when he learned that my family was from Chicago, we found a lot in common...mostly food.....we agreed to have a Chicago style pizza in the future.
Love you Frank...see you in the future for that pizza....

Rest in peace dear Mr. Quilici. You are and always will be my son's biggest inspiration for baseball. Thank you for everything you have done both on and off the field.

We did not know Frank well but we are related to the Smiths who lived just next door to him. In all these years every word ever spoken about Frank and Lila was endearing, loving and with such sincerity that you knew the Quilicis were just like family. Frank was obviously more than just their neighbor. He was someone they loved and respected. Though Im not there in Minneapolis, today I am feeling their pain. We extend our deepest sympathy to Lila and all the family. May his memory be...

I was at one of Harmon's golf tournaments. Erin Killebrew bought a new (golf) baseball cap. Frank took it and bit the top tab off. He proclaimed it was to save Erin from being struck by lightning (because the tab was metal). I adored Frank. Every event that I was involved in...I was so happy and relieved when I saw Frank and Lila. They always made me feel welcome! My eyes are welling with tears because I will miss him dearly!

Thanks for being a leader and role model for the twin cities. God bless your family and have a great trip to the field of dreams.
