Dear Anne, Sallie, Holly, Marty and Terri, I was so very saddened to learn of the passing of you husband and dad. He hired me at Central Square in January of 1972 as a science teacher at PV Moore HS. Over our many years together I learned from and respected his guidance. He was a truly fine educator, filled with professional excellence, empathy and a burning desire to find the best in all he worked with. I relished our times together in Florida, remembering the past and enjoying his lifetime...

Wow Frank! You weren't supposed to go before we reflected together on our lives at and after Central Square. Although we sometimes disagreed( although I think more often agreed) I always came away learning from you and the experience made me better off when in later years I had to wear similar shoes. Your frequent smiles and dry comments made me believe that you too enjoyed our discussions. I hope you remembered them fondly , as I do.

Frank was the best principal I ever had in 32 years of being an elementary school librarian. He listened. He wasn't afraid to jump into the fray. He was blessed.

Dear Anne, Sally,Holly,Terri and Marty. As we pass through life there are a few people we meet that change your life for the better. Frank was one of them for me. He hired me as a teacher , encouraging and supporting me throughout my career and became a inspiring friend. I will always remember our many diving adventures in the 1000 islands and our diving trip to Grand Cayman. Frank always amazed me in his many endeavors and his love for family. As teachers we alway admired his dedication to...

Anne, sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

We knew Frank from Endicott and Central Square...Frank graduated from Union-Endicott High School the same year as my brother..and my husband was also an administrator at Central Square during some of the years Frank was a principal... We were friends with Frank and also with Anne...It was a pleasure to know them. My condolences to the whole family.
