My heart is heavy and my prayers are with your family. I will always remember you as a dry, funny, sarcastic friend who lived for joking around with everyone. Thank you for always making me laugh and for reminders through the years that you were always my friend. You will be missed Frank. Rest in Peace old friend!

Frank will be missed by those who knew him. I was fortunate to know him since 1993. Bo

Frank (and family)
I'm having a hard time with your loss. I keep looking for those encouraging words, jokes, and humorous stories you kept me laughing with when I needed them the most. It just does not seem fair that we did not get to say goodbye, especially for those who were closest in your life...your Tammy and your mom. My prayers are with them during this lonely time. Love, Wendy G. Hudnell (Haddow-Green)
