I only met Frank and Margie on a couple of occasions. I was very impressed with Frank's selflessness. In the 80s my mother Anna Wood asked Frank to come to her home in Fresno and assess a serious drywall disaster in her bathrooms resulting from water damage. Frank came in and repaired the damaged drywall and then refused to take any payment from mom. He was good man and I would have liked to have known him better. Sympathy and much love to Margie, Helen, Carol, Gail and the rest of the family.

To Marjorie and family, I wanted to share my deepest condolences for you. Frank was a great guy and will be missed. Although he came across gruff and perhaps a little stubborn, deep down I know he was just having fun. I enjoyed having him as a client and working with him over the years. He will be on my mind when I'm out at Black Oak golf course, a place I know he enjoyed very much.

To all of the Machado family, I send my heart felt sympathy. The last time I saw you was in Fresno at Me-n-Eds with my dad, Bob Wood. The boys were very little. May God be with you during this time.
Sincerely, The Linda Wood-Moon fam.
