So sorry to hear about Frank.
The night before his obituary was in the Racine paper the Levonian siblings were out to dinner, and his name came up. One started singing "oh take me to the promise land where the river of ..." and everyone joined in to sing the song. Then we talked about his hand puppet with the handkerchief, Alice. We reminisced about times spent with your family.
