Mary Ruth and Family,

My time with Frank was as a stockboy at the store from 1959 to 1960. Frank was always good to me, offered wise counsel, and was fun to work alongside. I have just recently heard of his passing. Good memories are the words that come to mind when I think of Frank and his thoughtfulness to a 15 year old boy.

MaryRuth: I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to be there with you. You and Frank have always been there for us. I will always consider him a dear friend. He and "Curly" will be playing cribbage in Heaven's VFW.

Dear Mary Ruth and family,
It's times like this that we wish there weren't 1500+ miles between Naples and Boston, so that we could join you all in celebrating the joys of Frank's life. He really was a happy, joyful person. We will always remember the fun times we have enjoyed over the past 50+ years.
May God Bless you all, Peg and Dick Haberlin, Naples, FL

I'm so sad to hear about "MG". My love to Mary Ruth and the whole family. He was such a big presence in our childhoods on Monroe St. He adored his family and was always fun and funny and warm to everyone. He made you feel like you and he were in on some great joke, which is of course how he made everyone feel.... RIP MG

Lee, I'm so sorry about your father. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm lucky that I've had the pleasure to meet him. I know how much he loved you and the family. I have a fond memory of you in your kitchen showing me a birthday memory book that you designed and it had wonderful pictures of him and the family and his beloved Red Sox! I thought what a wonderful, generous loving daughter.
Love, Jennifer, Dan & Edward
