Frank, or the chief as most of us guys who grew up with the family will be sorely missed. All the late night kitchen raids we made, Frank and Ordeta were always there to make sure none of us went hungry. My condolences and prayers are with you guys.

Frank left an indelible mark in my life from the moment we first met. I remember calling the Jimenez home to introduce myself (his brother Felix's sister-in-law who was in town on a business trip), and while it took a few seconds to process the call, he soon, with a smile and laughter in his voice, welcomed me. We met later that day for a wonderful get together which included a short trip around Phoenix. Future visits were always EXTRA SPECIAL, and those memories comprise Frank's legacy - a man of integrity, faith, and love for his family. I thank Ordetta and Frankie for allowing me to be a part of his life.
