Frank and Mary Jean's nephew Chris Brunner is married to our daughter Lauren. We met Frank at the kids' engagement party held at our house and then again at their wedding.We thought he was a wonderful guy and thought Chris was such a lucky guy to have so many aunts and uncles. These last few years we knew he had Parkinson's and were saddened to hear of his passing. God bless your family & give you comfort.
Fondly,
Kathie & Brian Hurley

May the LORD grant you all peace and comfort at the passing of Frank.
Frank and I attended school together and were good friends throughout high school. Frank was well liked by everybody he knew and was fun to be around.
