Uncle Frank was truly one of the finest examples of a man that I ever had the honor of knowing and he will always be remembered. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family on the anniversary of his passing.

Dear Frank and family, I am so sorry about your father. You are in our thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort during the loss of your Dad during this difficult time. He was a special man and it was a special generation of men who helped Jacksonville and especially our area of town become what it is today. They always wanted to make the world a better place. Much love and peace to you all.

I was privileged to know Frank during our years at Lee. He was a real competitor on the football field as he was in life. He made a difference at St.Marks for many children and families. Our sincere condolences to Sally and his family. Very sincerely, George and Carol Mackoul

Investment club together, indian guides with our sons, many ski trips together (we & several others, including Archie Jenkins, organized full planeloads to out West for 13 years!). Much fun over the years..also with sweet Sally. Though I've been in NGA mts for 30 years, our memories remain. Blessings & prayers for Sally & the boys!

One of the most impressive man I have ever met. My sincere condolences to his family.

Thank you Frank for always being there for my daughter Chrissy. You were like a father to her as well as her friend and boss. We only met once but I appreciate all the kindness you showed towards her. You were a great man and one my daughter will miss for the rest of her life. Thank you so much for all you have done for her.
We will all meet again in Heaven one day.

When I started at Vesta a little more than three years ago, I had a two-year-old that was having frequent ear infections and other ailments that kept him out of daycare. I felt bad asking for time off so soon after starting a new job, and Frank came by my office because he had heard about this situation and told me to go home, to not worry about work, and take care of my kid, because, there was "nothing more important than family."

When my son was doing better and able to go back...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
