Not sure what to say?

Remember when Ruffner... Is still the beginning to a lot of stories in my life. We remember, Frank.

Dear Frank, I will never stop missing you. You were one of the dearest friends I ever had. Miss everything we used to go do. The movies we'd watch together, going to the gym, playing tennis, just spending time together. You are not forgotten! Michelle

I am so sorry for you loss. I had no idea. My condolences. Frank was such a joy to be around! I will miss him.

Happy 50th, my friend. Another year without you gone and done. All good things must come to an end... Miss your zest for life and your belief in all things good. I'll be watching the stars and looking for you at the gym. God bless you again and again. Here's to snowboarding in Bermuda!

Loved and not forgotten. You'll see it all from your seat, Frank, so keep watching. Miss you, bro. I'll be catching your pass the next time I run through Greensburg.

Missing you, buddy. It's Thanksgiving; it's almost time for our birthdays; and the world is less with your absence. I wonder how much you would have loved my son and what you might have taught him and it takes me right back to your niece sitting on my lap at your services. Oh, man, I really need your spirit. God bless. Live on, my friend. You were remembered and celebrated today. "Remember when Ruffner..."

My prayers go out to Frank's family. Frank will always have a special place in my heart and he will live on there forever.

I got the news today

I am saddened to hear about Frank passing. I have not talked to him since I was his roommate at Taft College.

There was not a more talented linebacker I have ever had the privilege of calling a teammate. As a roommate, trust me when I say...there was never a dull moment. College is a true test of your strength, morality & mental capacities. I think many people saw the Frank...
