We were so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I was glad to be able to see him when I did. You have our deepest condolences.

One of my favorite memories of Frank is the road trip we took from Chicago to Los Angeles when I moved there in 1979. We made a stop in Las Vegas and that was the first time I'd ever been there. I never would've thought that all these years later I'd call it home.

Even though I didn't see him much the last few years, we always looked forward to family gatherings and talking with Frank. He always had a sharp sense of humor, we will miss him.
