Not sure what to say?

I had you several times for history while in highschool...you made the history come alive...I fondly remember painting murals you drew above the chalk boards in the classroom....Twenty years later, I find myself visiting St. Augustine with my 10 year old son and how the history lessons you taught me returned to me to repeated to my son....

I remember Frank coming into the shop on Aviles St all those years ago, in his colonial gear. That man would bring history to life when he spoke. He'd stop in every few days just to say "Hi" and talk for a while. I loved that time and those conversations. SO many friends and family members that were blessed with his presence. What a life testament he has left. God Bless.

My Dear Cousin Frank:
Your accomplishments throughout the years speak volumes of a very special soul. You are God's arms now. May he bring comfort to all who knew and loved you.

Mr. Suddeth was a GREAT History teacher, one of my most favorite teachers EVER. He will be dearly missed.

Goodbye Ranger Frank We will miss you and all your many talents. May you find peace now and comfornt in seeing your family in heaven.

Old Friend,
I just received word today that you are gone ahead, and I won't be able to be there in person to honor you by playing "Taps" as I would like to do. Most men pass through a lifetime and find themselves making a great many acquaintances -- but a few true friends. I always could count on you as one of the latter. I never got a chance to thank you face-to-face for not only being my friend, but for being a friend to my daughter when she spent a summer working at the Castillo, a...



All we leave out of this life with is our reputation. Frank certainly showed love and compassion for his fellowman.He was a gifted individual and will be surely missed.

Frank will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. In our travels from Miami to reenact 18th century British Saint Augustine, Frank was often one of the first people we encountered at the Castillo. He was always happy to see us, and we, him. One of the bright lights of Saint Augustine, the city is now darker without him.

You were the best grandpa my girls could ever ask for. They may not have been of your blood but they were of your heart. We will miss you so very much. I know that you are in a better place and that you are now with those you always held close to your heart. My prayers are with all those that loved him with his family and with his friends. He will always be in our hearts and the hearts of all those that he touched
