Not sure what to say?

I first met Frank and Lisa in Peurto Galera, Philippines in 2013 shortly after they built Mango Moon. His deft knowledge of all things sailing still amazes me. Franks sense of humour and culinary skills were a breath of fresh air. The world lost another good person to cancer. I trust that Franks colleagues can take up the challenge to defeat this horrible disease.

Since I heard of Frank's passing I reminisce about the things we did at Peninsula School & on weekends when we would sleep over at each other's house.There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't think of him as one of my closest friends for a time back then

Frank & I were class mates for a few years at The Peninsula School in Menlo Park in the mid 60's I last had communication with Frank by email when he was on his sailboat somewhere in the South Seas I think around 10 years ago.

Frank and I built tree forts together at Peninsula School in 1966. He had a distictive laugh that was contagious. Jim Spar
