Knew Frank for several years at work, always pleasant and willing to help. We used to exchange greetings and a few phrases in Polish just for fun practice. I'll always think of him when I pass by St.Camillus. R.I.P.

Not only is a childhood memory no longer now we lost a neighborhood friend who touched many residents in Garfield Ridge. We will always remember the Korner Shrimp House on Archer and waiting patiently every Friday for our familys weekly fish fry with so many other residents. My parents even loved the kidney bean salad. Went to St Camillus school with their children Kim, Kevin, and Ken. Rest In Peace...Gone but never forgotten

I would like to express my condolences to Franks family. I knew Frank through work at Enterprise where I worked with him for the last year and a haft on the long runs out of state. Lots of our conversations centered around his family and church whom he had the upmost respect and love for both. I will miss Frank when work resumes and trying to find another partner whom really cared about the job and doing it correctly as he did. Rest in peace my friend. Ken
