Not sure what to say?

I don't eat at the Tam without recalling good memories of my employment and how Richard always defended and supported me.

Never will I forget the marvelous, warm, inclusive (and beautifully-decorated) environment that pervaded Lawry's Foods Center. I worked in Product Planning, Advertising and then on "Executive Row," reporting to Edgar Lewis, CFO and sometimes filled in for Tom Fuelling's executive secretary, Pat.

Very few people change the world to make it a better place, to enrich live, to make it taste better. Mr. Frank did just that and not just for himself, but for everyone lucky enough to be around him. A true legend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May God's promises found in his word comfort you during this difficult time. John 6:40

I will always remember my 10 year employment and Richard's open door policy to assist me with hosting International guests as they toured the food center. I couldn't have managed the executives from Kagome Foods Japan without he and Ralphs assistance. Rest in peace.

May he rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him.
My sincere condolences to him Family and Friends.
