Frank was my big brother. Reflecting on his addiction to alcohol, I am exceedingly proud of how he turned his life around, and enjoyed over 50 years of sobriety, all the while helping others deal with their addictions. Well done Bro !!!! ....Dan

I'm from Ohio and only work with Frank a handful of times. I always looked forward to talking to Frank at the retirement luncheon

Frank was my big brother, born about 4 years before me. He was a very strong and vibrant man, and by many considered to be as handsome as Hollywood's Kirk Douglas. I am most proud of how he handled the past 50+ years of sobriety, and the many individuals he sponsored into committing to AA. Dan Fenker
