Dear Marilyn, Chris and Joel,
Frank has been an important part of my life for four decades. I had the unusual and great opportunity of driving the entire Alaska Highway alone with Frank and his brother Elmer in 1999. We had barely pulled out of Orono Washington when Frank seemed annoyed with my driving speed, as I like to keep within the limit!

Marilyn, Chris, Joel,
Frank gave me one of my first jobs when Anna and I started Woods Plumbing and Heating. We also did a lot of work on your apartments. Chris and Joel built the house we live in now. I always enjoyed conversations with Frank. He was always honest and fair in his dealings with us. He had a great life, something to aspire to. We will miss him. Your family is in our prayers.
Tom and Anna Woods
