Ive known both Frank and Lorri since the mid 70's. We first met when they both worked at Linwood, the original pterodactyls. I later worked for them at AMI in Rock Island.

I work at SVA with Christian Kerr, Frank's nephew who has shared some wonderful personal stories of Frank and Lorraine and their life and dedication to others. People like them are few and far between.

The obituary says He respected and loved societys' casualties. It sounds like He wasn't angry or disgusted at their appearance or behavior. Instead he realized they deserved to be treated as we treat those who are physically sick in our society. Mental illness and addiction are brain chemical imbalances NOT personality disorders....

My name is Scott and I have been a client of Janet Wattles for many years. I had the great fortune of speaking with Mr. Ware for quite awhile last Friday when I was volunteering at the Resource Center. He told me of some of the challenges he faced while working in Rock Island, the story of a man who was petrified of leaving a hospital that was shutting down, and how he changed that person’s life by transitioning him back into the outside world. I was in awe of Mr. Ware. He had something deep...
