My second dad...my heart is broken for all of you but he is now with your mom. I learned many things from Frank Samsel. He was a very hard working man.

I was Barb's sorority sisters and met him several times. We had conversations that will serve me all my life. He left quite a fantastic legacy that Cleveland should never forget.
