Not sure what to say?

Frank and I were roommates for two years in a crummy little two room apartment just down the street from St. Andrew's in Ann Arbor while attending Engineering school at Michigan in the early 60's. I lost track of Frank over the years until just recently when his obituary appeared in the UofM Engineering publication. I'm truly sorry I missed knowing him as an "adult", father, and friend. I will alway remember those two trying, but fun, years as a student. But, one could't just know Frank...

I was watching the Michigan game and couldn´t help but feel that Frank was watching too. Linda Frietsch Gearheart

I worked for Frank in the 70s. He was a kind and generous man. He will be missed by all. My deepest sympathy to Brooke and family. Rest in Pease Frank.

Frank was a man of Vision. During my years with Walker Parking Consultants, I watched Frank lead a Company that became the best in the world at what it does. All the while, he was a friend, a confidant, a loving family man, a really, really good man. We will miss him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your friends in Manistee & Ludington, Michigan.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Sundial East family and Friends send our deepest Sympathies.

Frank was my longest-time friend from infancy to death. We played together, ate together, went to school together and to church together. He was my constant companion through our youth. I remember our fun times, the sad times, the lost times, and especially found times. Ours was a friendship that spanned 79 years filled with memories. God speed my friend until we meet again.

Thank you for your thoughts on this site. Frank is my Dad and he taught me alot. My Dad is why I hunt and fish and my Dad showed me how to be a Dad and inspired me to be a structural engineer. My Dad taught me how to accomplish things; big things like engineering school, getting licensed as an engineer, build things, being a Dad and fly fishing. I can't beleive he's gone, but 52 yrs with my Dad is worth saying thats a blessing having that much time with him. I'm proud to say Frank is my...

My father Dan Huver grew up down the road from Mr. Transue , they used to hunt around the farms together. They reconnected many years later and picked up where they left off as kids. My father would tell me that Mr. Transue was the sharpest man he knew and loved to pick his brain. Condolences to Mrs. Transue and family. May he rest in Glory.
