Frank...a perfect example of how we are called to live our lives. I remember Frank as the most loyal and fair to his family and friends; funny but serious about things that mattered. We were great friends thru grade school and high school and those memories will always evoke a smile. I know Frank is loved by all who knew him. He fulfilled all that is expected of us in life...act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God...Frank did all that and more. Rest in God's Peace, Frank.

Frank was a good man, a rightous man. He had a strong faith and a clear set of values that were the guideposts of his life.He possessed a humility and sense of humor that enabled him to see the world simply and with clarity. He loved Pat and his boys deeply.He was a proud member of the McCann Clan, and he would quickly remind anyone that it was the McCann Clan from Glenside. He also left an impressive legacy in the human service field. He was a highly respected Social Work leader whose passion, dedication, and competence impacted the lives of countless people and organizations. Frank was the best of friends.He was kind, thoughtful, an attentive listener, and loved a good story. You will be sorely missed my friend. Lena and I send our condolences to Pat, Frank, Pete, and Brendan. Be assured of our thoughts and prayers. Franny Dolan

My cousin Frank was an easy going and remarkable man. My main contact with him was in our youth. Always polite and pleasant to his little cousin. Our family is shrinking at one end and growing leaps and bounds at the other end. I know the loss of a Father, Husband and dear Brother. My prayers are with his loving family. God Bless Us All.
