I worked with Frank back in 1972-1976 at the Milk Bone plant. My dad, Joe Jarzyna worked with him for decades, and introduced me to him as the highest seniority guy in the plant! He was always a hard worker my dad told me, a guy who never refused to work overtime. He said Frank always stayed to clean up spills or whatever industrial accidents they had. He always took time to mentor me as I was a young lad back then. I remember his great sense of humor! sorry for the belated response but my dad has been gone since 1995 and I haven't been to Buffalo since 2002. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a good man.

Sorry to hear of Franklin passing. I work with him at the Bakery. I'm going to miss him, I would pick him up and we would just ride around. It was a priviledge to have know him.

I am very sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I worked with him at the Milk-Bone plant and always admired his great demeanor and willingness to help people. He was a good man and I am priviledged to have known him.
