Frank Joseph Rauch

Jennifer and Family,
Even though we did not know your father personally, he sounded like a great guy and we are sure he still is. All of our thoughts, prayers and love are with all of you. May God bring you his comfort when you need it most.

I fondly remember those 23 years we were neighbors. We didn't always talk daily, but just knowing they were nearby was a comfort. They were a couple who had "staying power" thru thick and thin; and courageously faced together all that life dispenses thru the years. And what a great family -- Frank leaves a wonderful legacy in his wife and children. I remember daily all their smiles and cheerfulness. Take care, Shannon & family. Always, Jeanne

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love to all,
Rita, Jeannie and Lisa

Frank is a man the Angels are proud of. He was there for so many people.
Once, after a concert at the Moorings, He and I helped an elderly chorus member, Rae Healy, by changing her flat tire in a downpour. I was a little embarassed by his willingness as he had no hat and I did. The Celestial Choir has gained a lot more than just a great singer.

I am fortunate to have worked with Frank at Coperion and he was an inspiration to all of us. What a wonderful man. His performance in The Sound of Music will always be a sweet memory for me. My love and prayers go out to all of you at this time.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Frank was such a sweet and gentle man who loved his wife and family and spoke of them with so much pride. I have such wonderful memories of our times on stage. Long rehearsals help actors know each other well:Frank and I had plenty of time to talk and laugh and share dreams and memories. What a priviledge to have known this fabulous man. My prayers are with Shannon and their family.

Frank was an example of living life to its fullest and not passing any of its experiences by. I am very proud to say that he was my friend and I feel lucky to have been able to share the stage with him. He was an extreamly supportive man to those whom he called friends. I will not forget our time together.

What a wonderfully gentle man and a good friend. Even at his sickest he was encouraging and supportive to me! I picture him singing Christmas songs in heaven and a friend of ours...Conrad...is with him in top hat and tails!! I pray for Shannon and everyone to find the strength to get thru this rough time. We'll all miss him and how marvelous how much he loved his wife and family!
God bless!
