Doc helped me with my pleasure horse, George, who had a mystery injury a number of years ago. He traveled to the boarding barn and coordinated our trip to Cornell Equine Hospital. My funny Doc story: when Doc arrived at the boarding barn, the horse in the next stall made a beeline outside and to the end of his run. Doc remembered the neighboring horse and explained why: "If you were gelded by me at age 13, you'd run, too." RIP Doc.

To the Frank family. We are deeply sadden to hear of Doc’s passing. Percy often tells the story of moving Doc here to Saratoga and Doc giving him the freezer for moving him. They’ve worked together on a lot of horses through the years. Percy often came home with one of Doc’s corny jokes. Our sincere condolences. May he reminisce with all the horsemen waiting for him.

To the Frank family so sorry for loss Dr. he was always their to take care of the horse's for my stepdad J P Morel and mine with Brain Cross Dr. will be missed by all that knew him R.I.P Dr.

Our thoughts and prayers for the entire Frank family.
Memories We will never forget: Doc Frank working in his garage for hours after he got home from the track. Mom remembers my dad calling him for advice and help with the farm animals, always willing to help.
Now they can smoke a pipe together and remember those days.
