Frank Valas

Speeding around in the Triumph and BMW in Shrewsbury, and skiing up at Smugglers Notch, Vermont with Mr. Frank Valas and the Valas clan when I was a boyalong with Tim, Rory, and Jen. My thoughts and prayers are with you all Sue, Rory, Tim, Jen, Katie, Meghan and the rest of your familyso many good memories of your Dad as we were growing up in that magical town of Shrewsbury. Loved having a chance to see him again at Tim and Karlas wedding. God bless you, Frank! From all the Carrollsmy...

To Sue and Family -- I just learned of Frank's accident and your loss. It was simply terrible news.

He'd been a good friend since we first met in the early 60s, right after I began my work with the Patriots, so you might say we had that interest in common right off the bat. But also as Auburn and Oxford 'guys' respectively, our paths crossed in a positive way right from the beginning. And for me the good news for many years is that we did a good job keeping in touch.

With deep...

Sending my sincere condolences to the entire Valas family. It is never easy saying goodbye to a loved one, and when I think about the tight neighborhood we grew up in, it's hard not to think of Mr. Valas as one of our own. I know this must be a very difficult time for all of you, and I hope that warm and loving memories of your time together can bring you comfort, especially when you find you are missing him the most.

Frank Valas had a gift for fixing things, including hurt feelings. Using wit and wisdom in a brilliant and effortless fashion, he could make a dire predicament a source of amusement. Frank loved it when broken things got fixed. My friend and debate partner at Assumption Prep also helped rescue our school newspaper. We learned lessons together (Frank's quick wit in debate was unmatched) that served us well in life. As he did with all his friends, Frank looked after me with a brotherly warmth...

Sue, Rory,Tim, Jenn, Katie, & Meghan, Our hearts go out to you. We were so crushed to hear of Frank's passing. He was such a vibrant man. We had such great times with you guys while our kids were growing up. Great memories with lots of Love. May God hold Frank and all of you in his good graces always. Love & Peace, Thom & Judie McCabe
