Hi Bruce, thanks for your message. There should be a video available of the celebration of Frank's life soon, if you are able to see this message (you, or anyone else) you can message me via my website: bobbyabrahamson dot com -- there's a message center there. I'll also try to put a post to a link here, but not sure if it'll work.

I was so sad to just learn of Frank's passing. I was his first rowing coach at Penn, I taught him from the very beginning. He was very hard working and managed to make a very talented first boat that first year. I saw him often during his 4 years as he continued through the program. Always a very kind smile and a story to tell. Frank was one of the really good guys, I know he's going to be missed by his family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

What a sad message I received from a few of the University of Pennsylvania PHI KAP brothers. Frank and I were friends and teammates on the Penn crew team (my first couple years, and his entire four, I believe). It was at our first Winter training with the team in Tampa that I got to know him better; he shared many stories about his home, insisted I visit during Summer break (a missed opportunity, regrettably), and talked about his car (fuzzy memory but I recall a yellow Corvette- possibly a Camero). We schlepped around the usual Penn haunts and the frat. Frank was easy going but always open to people; he made sure I got an invite to any of his adventures in school and also included my home best friend anytime he was on campus (a fair amount). We lost touch after school ( why did I let that happen?) but I always smile when I think of those days. Frank has added great stories to my life, some of which my kids have heard regaled. What a fantastic person.

I met Frank through real estate investing four years ago and was lucky to have known him. Frank was an incredibly kind and bright person. He was genuinely interested in learning about other people and often asked about my young children. I will miss Frank and wish sincere condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure to work with Frank and admired him. Frank was a very intelligent man. I was honored when Frank said to me "I'd like you to be my right hand".
He was such a good friend to me during my husband's fight against covid. We discussed the loss of my 2 sons from an auto accident. When he would call me, he would say I love talking to you - you always have such an uplifting outlook.
I miss my pal. There is none like Frank, forever missed.

Frank was such a special friend. He was always quick to smile, take the time to listen, and offer his thoughts. Many great memories of going on long runs and to Dead shows. But a lot of good times and laughs just hanging with Frank at Kinsey Ct. He will be missed.

Frank was one of the smartest and big hearted people I´ve ever known. He was adventurous and a hard working, disciplined soul who marched to his own best. I respected him deeply and I already miss him. My heart felt condolences to Julie and Bobby. RIP Captain.

Frank was always thoughtful and kind, both to those he knew well and to strangers. He was determined, strong-willed, intelligent, and funny. Frank knew how to make others smile. He will be missed!
