Jon,
Our condolences and prayers go out to you and your family for the loss of your father. May you find comfort in knowing that he is in a good place with you mother and they are now angels watching over all of you!
God Bless!

Dave and family, I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful father. I remember watching him on television and seeing him at our grade school events. As he joins your mom in heaven may they enjoy watching all their children and grandchildren on their life journey.May God bless you and your family during this trying time.

I am so sorry to have been out of town for the celebration of your father's life and legacy, I wouldn't have missed it! He was a wonderful man and a credit to his high school Alma mater. In fact, he recently contributed to a documentary on the history of Central Catholic which is being produced by the students. They were in awe of his knowledge of technology and his relaxed presence in front of a camera. May God rest his soul and comfort his family!

John, Ginny and family, I am so sorry for your loss of a loving Dad. May, in time, you find Peace in precious memories.

I grew up watching Frank on the television, later learned that my Grandmother, and her twin sister had went to school with him. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a couple different restaurants that I worked at...what a wonderful, kind, friendly man he was. God Bless his family, hopefully you will find peace and comfort in knowing that he's in a better place.

I never missed his news reports, or Weather in the Weather. What a great loss to all who knew him, and even those of us that didn't know him personally. My prayers are with his family ,friends, associates, our community in general. God had another great man up there now.
