I worked with Frank at Mack and Signal. He was one of the best people I've ever known. May he rest in peace.

I use to like talking with your dad about trucking and Mack transportation where he use to work he was a down to earth guy and a good family man, he never got upset about anything that I could tell, a pretty quiet guy and a WW 2 Navy Vet like my dad.
There's a lot in common there and you don't even realize it just how alike we all are and where we all came from.
But I do remember him chasing me down Ashon rd. one day hanging out with Marlene, I guess I had something coming but, thank God he never caught me.
Our hearts and prayers are with you Marlene,Buddy,Glenn and all your family, God Bless your dad and God Bless you all, he'll be missed.
