Frank and I worked at Allied Signal, and when he discovered it was my birthday, he came in and sang a Sinatra song. His voice was good and I think he was an entertainer with his great stories of his childhood.

Please accept my sympathy in the loss of this wonderful person.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the TRAPP family. Although I met Frank only 3 or 4 times I was a good friend of Doug's till we both left the PPD and I moved away. I hope that he contacts me. Again my deepist sympathy to the family.
