My deepest sympathies to you, and your family, Sean. Sadly I never had the honor of meeting your Dad. I am sure the person I know, and admire in you, is a reflection of your Dad. Hold on to your happy memories and know that he will be besides you always. Thank you for your service Mr. Frank. May light perpetual shine upon him. My continued prayers to you all...and HUGS.

From the moment I met him, Mr. Frank reminded me of my own dad. Gruff, but funny. He joked with us about partying and girls. I have a twin, so that always invites a joke or two. When I told him he reminded me of my dad, and then told my dad the same, they both commented on what a great guy the other must be. Awesome. God Bless.

Sean and family, our deepest condolences for your loss. I only met Mr. Frank once, but I saw the love Sean and his dad had for each other when Sean visited him at work; it was nice to see a father and son bonding during the visit. He will be in our thoughts and prayers. God bless his soul.
