Frank Wilde

Dear Carol, Joe, Nick and Lynn. Gina and I are so very sorry about Frank. He always had a smile and a kind for us every time we were around. Please know that we are thinking of all of you during this very difficult time.

I attended a Pioneer meeting today (Tuesday) in Camp Hill when I learned of Frank's passing. I worked with Frank in the Bell of Pa's Central Area Transmission Group in Harrisburg from 1956 through 1963. Frank was an integral part of the 5 man team. He and I teamed up to detect transmission problems many times. He and I were the only 2 in the group who didn't smoke. I could tell many pleasant memories of our relationship in Harrisburg but that would take several pages. One trait I must tell....

Dear Carol,Joe,Nick and Lynn
We were so sorry to hear about your dad. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Carol take comfort in knowing that now you have two special guardian angels to watch over you. I will cherish the memories forever of both your parents. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Growing up next door to "Mr. Wilde" he was more than a next door neighbor, he was more like a grandfather to me. We sat and talked for many hours and shared stories. He always had a friendly smile and a warm hug. He will be missed.
Love a fellow tuba player,

Heaven and Grandma Helen are rejoicing, I know! A beautiful family, an amazing man and his life lessons taught will never be forgotten! Cheers to Pop Pop Frank for living an amazing life and touching many with his many smiles, jokes, love of music, sports and his dear family! You will be missed! Until we meet again...Love Kara McClain

Sorry to hear of Frank's passing. He was a true friend and fellow musician and an excellent tuba player.
