Brother. You always stood out as an officer, Salesman, and great friend.
Had things gotten bad and dangerous at work you would be the first one to think about as a backup due to your dedication, fearlessness and camaraderie. After your retirement you helped me as a car salesman and gave me the best deal possible. You will be greatly missed Brother. May God bless your soul and rest you in Eternal Heaven.

Frank, I never met anyone that respected and loved his mother as much as you did your mom, Joan. She is Blessed to have that devotion your entire life. May your family be comforted by our Lord and may you rest in peace in Heaven.
