Not sure what to say?

I don;t know if this opportunity is still available but, if it is, please know that I was shocked and saddened to learn that one of my fellow Firemans' Fund Managing Partners had passed. Frank was always one of the optomists who made our meetings a nice place to be. It was always good to see him. My thoughts to all in the family, Frank was indeed a long time friend whose smile will remain with me.

Dear Pat and Molly,

We met Frank through our friends the Lines. Frank was a key part of parties that were so much fun but so relaxing at the same time. His easy smile and great sense of humor will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to you Pat...
I hope you can find some peace in your many wonderful memories.
Sincerely , Michelle Jones

Having Frank and the rest of you a couple of doors down was always a delight and was a part of what made Kendal Avenue special for me. I always remember the energy and good spirit that was such a constant with Frank.

My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you.

It was always a great way for me to end the work day if I was fortunate enough to take the same train home with Frank and catch him as we left the station to walk home. Whether we were talking about sports, our families, our dogs..it didn't matter. It was always such a pleasure to spend time with him.

Rest in peace my friend. I will miss you.

Our deepest sympathies to Pat, Molly and the rest of Frank's family. We have admired Frank since we first met him when Molly and Nick were at Morrow Preschool together. We always enjoyed the opportunity to speak with him when he walked past our house on his way to and from the train station. He made a great contribution to our community and will be sorely missed.

I haven't seen Fran since 9th grade, and I never met his wife and daughter. I can tell you that even in grade school, Fran was just one of those kids you knew was going to grow up to be a "good guy." I see from the comments from the "chain gang" that our premonitions were correct. I have vivid memories of Fran trying to help me play basketball in his driveway, I wasn't any good then and never got any better, but Fran didn't care, he was just a nice guy and a great friend. My deepest...

Many things have changed over the past 20 years I have lived on Kendal Avenue, but one that has stayed the same is the warmth, friendliness and kindness that came from Frank. Whether mowing the lawn, leading the Halloween parade, chatting with me about a run or walking to the train, Frank always had that big smile and his calm, caring way. I will always feel his presence on this street and feel blessed that I knew him. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel for Pat and Molly.

Frank, Bob and John, Bassman 2007

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
