Many years ago, my little friend and I had skipped school and took the bus to Albany. Frank, the bus driver, asked us why we weren't in school and we both froze. We said nothing.

Later, when he saw us again..he smiled and never mentioned that day.

He was kind and good and very loved by kids in the area.

A wonderful memory of Frank. He'll be most missed by all that loved him.
