I am so sorry to hear about Frank's passing. In the mid-1980's I came to Corpus and visited with his father. It was part of my deCordova ancestry project. He also wrote me several times, and I still have the letters. I am more than happy to share my genealogy work on the family (email - [email protected]). I am still in touch with Jim deCordova & Wanda. Jim is Frank III's 1st cousin. Again, my condolences. David Vann deCordova, Jr., Beaumont, Texas

Frank as a teenager, when I knew him ,was one of the toughest, nerviest, most intimidating figures in Corpus Christi. I am happy to read of his wonderful family and successful business. All the best.

Frank was one of my dad's oldest friends (Robert Stoner). I grew up with Frank and his dogs...fishing, going to the cabin, and just having fun. He would let us dance on his feet or throw us up in the air like we were flying....how appropriate because now he is flying with the angels. I'll miss you Frank! You were a blast. Love you to the moon!
