Mr. King,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Lorraine, thank you for bringing Frank into our lives. In a time when it is rare to find a true gentleman you did. From the time you were dating it was clear he adored you, and you Frank. He has always taken the time to show kindness, concern and patience to all those around him. You have something very special and your sharing it with us has made all our lives kinder and richer. Joey you are so very lucky to have such a fine example of a man as your father, he has always been so proud of you. Love and peace.

I'm sad to learn of Frank's passing, and hope that Lorraine, Joe, Marybeth and family, can take solace in the fact that Frank was the consumate gentleman, who was
always speaking about his family in very proud terms.

His friends, acquaintances, business associates, and business competitors
all had a great respect and admiration for Frank, and people like him don't come along very often.

We will always remember what a
gentleman you were. So kind , thoughtful, and sweet. You loved your family so much and with every conversation it showed. Your son Joey, who we grew up with in Humarock, is a personification of his dad with all the qualities you possess. Love to you Frank always.
