Dad, I keep looking toward your chair expecting you to be there. I also think of serving you dinner first and before 6. I know one of these days it won't be such a habit, but dang I miss seeing you. Love you.

To Frank's family, my heartfelt condolences. His passing certainly leaves much emptiness in this world. However, I'm sure there is much rejoicing going on right now, with those that left before him! The group from DAV#18 alone; Timmy, Jim, Ken, Ray, Bob, and so many more were there to greet him with open arms. I bet Wanda is drawing those beers and laughing at Frank's jokes. Frank was one of the most gentle souls I ever met and certainly the greatest Father and Grandfather a family could have. You were so blessed to have him and he certainly let us know how blessed he was to have you. If only we could all have his zest for life and love of family. Rest in Peace, Frank; I'll see you on the other side.

Lynne,Robin,and Steph, Even though I am not there with you MY HEART is. I want to thank you for always being there for dad all these years. Especially the last few months. Even though we did not see him for much over the years my kids fell in love with him when they met him. Dad knew he was loved by all. Such a special guy that will be missed by everyone who loved him.
