Our prayers of comfort are extended to the Tamel Family and our Parkway brothers and sisters.
Pastor Frank Tamel was a man of principle and Apostolic greatness. He was close friends with The Parchia Family and The Mt. Zion Assembly of the Apostolic Faith Church. He was one of the original pastors of The Apostolic Alliance, which later became, The Unified Churches of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the Apostolic Faith, which our father, Bishop Earl Parchia, founded over 30 years ago. Another Apostolic Father is taking his rest. Rest in Jesus, Pastor Emeritus Tamel!

I have many fond memories of Pastor Tamel. He will be missed. He was an awesome man of GOD, who loved the LORD with all his heart and now will be with him in glory, along with his Angeline. It was truly a honor to know him.

Just wanted to offer my condolences to his family. May God continue to bless you and your
wonderful church. He was an inspiration and father for someone whom did not have one. I will always remember when he baptized me. I really felt God was alive. Those are the thoughts I will always remember

I have fond memories of Pastor and Sister Tamel during the years we lived in Oak Creek and attended the church. I met the Tamel's when they came to Key West for a visit many years ago. I'm happy to have had the good fortune of meeting two wonderful Souls. Good speed Bro Tamel.
