So sorry to hear of the passing of Frank. He was a long time and good friend of our entire family. He spent a lot of time visiting with my mom and dad. I often wondered how he was especially when I would drive by their home on Main St. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you..Sincerely Christy Lintner Diltz
