Not sure what to say?

I had just finish watching the movie Wishman. One of the best movies I've ever seen. It made me wish I could have met Frank, what a great and loving man he was, and to the family you all were bless to have a great man in your life. I cried throw this movie and even felt the love which to me came throw the tv. May God continue to bless and heal the world. Thank for sharing this beautiful life story.

Just like so many others here, I too just finished watching Wish Man. What a wonderful, heartwarming story about the ripple effects of kindness. So inspiring. God Bless the Shankwitz family, your loved one made a real difference in this world. And Kitty, you too have implanted the seed in so many around the world.

I had no idea who Mr Shankwitz was, his story and how he made such a mark on the human family.Recently ,I was blessed to watch Wish man, and truly just wanted to thank him. God bless the man who traveled in such a way, who gave his kindness for the good of those in need.
Thank you sir for being a such a light .

I just saw the movie Wish Man last night on You Tube. So very good. May he RIP and be rewarded for his life on earth. Wish I could thank him or his wife in person.

What a wonderful kind beautiful man I´ll bet he´s an angel today. Still helping children.

I just saw the movie about Frank's life. I brought Children's Wish to Windsor in 1985. I wanted you to know that because of Frank - a 10 yr old boy got his wish to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger - at the time of the wish, Arnold was filming Total Recall in Mexico - and untouchable! but when he was filming Kindergarten Kop , Arnold arranged to meet with Scott in Hollywood, California. ( I had to go through some fighting to make it happen - but it did!!) I called Air Canada and asked if there was...

Ich habe mir sein Film angesehen und viel Respekt vor Frank. Danke Frank.

He always treated me with respect while working for ADOT.

A great policeman, and man.
