To all of Frank's family, I wish to say how very sorry I was to hear of his passing. I am the mother of Megan, his neighbor for several years, and so when I visited Megan, I had an opportunity to meet and have many conversations with him. He was always so gracious, and even got me to the airport on a couple of occasions when my daughter had to work. He had a gentle, loving soul, and I know he will be missed by all who knew him. I'm so thankful I had a chance to have had his acquaintance.

Frank was a good and friendly fellow co-worker. We both worked for Mead Johnson Labs in the 60's and Frank carried his share of responsibility. He was well liked and respected by clients and the medical audience he called on. He was engaging and made you feel accepted and optimistic. He will be missed by many people. God Bless Frank and Rest in Peace !......

Frank was funny, thought provoking, a good listener and enjoyable to be with. He had a calm attitude and was always good for a relaxing
conversation. We will miss his Irish wit.

May you find comfort in the memories you shared.
He will be missed.

Kate, Susan, Chris, Tom and Katie: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of good ole Frank. I enjoyed our many conversations in the Kitchen on 9 Oak Manor and countless others meeting up in places around Roch. He was always there with a funny story and a smile on his face. One of the nicest men I have known and he will be missed. Here's hoping he's watching the Yanks with his buddy Kevin and toasting St Patrick and Ireland in a few days. Rest Easy Frank.
