I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. He always made me smile at the pancake breakfast in Clemmons for the Civic Club and was always willing to set up time to help me work on Excel but we never got around to it. Every time I saw him he willingly gave a hug and asked how I was doing. Heaven gained an angel and I pray that the memories you guys have are not only joyful and fond memories. but memories of a man who truly walked out what it is to be a man of God. Love and sympathy, Becky

Barbara and family. So sorry to hear of Franks passing. I lost my husband a little over a year ago and I know your pain. We can only now look forward to the day we will be united with them and our Father in Heaven.

Heaven has gained a strong leader and an angel. Frank will get things organized up there and will keep his family safe down here. Frank was my mentor in Empire Toastmasters where I was able to learn to organize my thoughts and speak more easily in meetings and in front of groups. For this I will be ever grateful. I later ran into Frank and saw what a great grandpa he was to Natalia and Sam when they were in an after school program \ summer camp that I worked at. I am sending hugs and praying for the family during this difficult loss!
