As a child I can remember often visiting the school store across from Holy Assumption School. Frank was just starting his business and I remember him working on watches in the hallway when I'd be in the store for my "penny" candy. He was always so pleasant and kind, as was his wife. My husband purchased my engagement and wedding bands from these great folks and we have watched, through the years, their success. I know he will be missed by family and friends. He was such a great part of West Allis.

Hi Laurie, & Siblings & Family,
My prayers are with you as you say Goodbye to your father.
I recall the first time I saw him. He was siting on a stool or work chair in that tiny room off of Aunt Ceal's kitchen. Wearing an eyeglass monacle, he was engrossed in fixing something.I can't recall if he & your Mom were married yet but maybe I recall that everyone was awfully exited about a diamond.
I enjoyed his interest in the organ in later visits. I wish I be with the family at this gathering knowing that family & I'm sure many friends will be an uplifting time for you.
Fondly, Cousin Claryce
