Frankie! I can't believe you're gone. I know you are in a better place. You will be missed, a great deal. You were a true gem of a man and I will always recall all the fond memories of our time together. Bless You.

Frank was one of my most favorite officials, always positive,very conscientious and really seemed to enjoy his officiating. He was also a great mentor to young officials! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. RIP, Frank.

Frank was a great guy...and always went out his way to make people feel welcome. One of my best birthdays was when he took my picture and then it was posted forever on the wall there. He will truly be missed

Frankie, I still say the prayer every night that you taught me. It has gotten me through many a tough time and keeps me grateful to this day for all that I have. You're A number 1 in everyone's life that had the good fortune of crossing your path. You knew no stranger and were the best host and friend anyone could ever imagine! People enter your life for a reason, season or a lifetime. You were all of the above. You will never be forgotten as your spirit lives on in so many of us -...
