Jan, we have never met, my name is Jim Reis, I presently live in Florida. I knew Frankie when we were teenagers, in South Amboy. Even when we were kids Frankie was his own man. I am thankful to say, my memories of Frank are all good, and I am deeply sorry for your loss, Jan. May he rest in peace and may Gods Holy Spirit comfort, keep and strengthen you and your family through the days ahead.
