Always loved talking and being with Frank at Bristol and in the pass at Kentucky speedway. Always had a smile on him and made everyone smile. Sorry we could never get to play golf at Bristol. Will be miss!!!

Frank was a class individual. I dealt with him for years when I was with Roadway Express. His energy, friendliness and honesty were always evident. My sincere sympathy to all of his family and friends. May the many memories of his life and example comfort all of you during this time of loss.

What a wonderful person Frank was. Even through his illness he always had a smile. I talked to him a couple weeks ago at church and he was the "same old Frank". I'm sure he's happy to be with Jane but he will be sadly missed by all.
