To the Wanner Family-
I was so sorry to hear of Frank's passing and even more upset that I wasn't able to attend the services. Through the years we've been blessed to have the Wanner family as not only my Mom's employer and my personal tax preparer, but we also had the honor to have Frank and Joan share in some of our family celebrations, both happy and sad. I will miss Frank and his positive outlook on life. I always enjoyed going to have my taxes done and hearing about he and Joan's fun adventures and was sad when he retired and wasn't able to have my yearly updates about their exotic trips. I'm so sorry for your loss; he will be missed. Becky Lehman and Mary Payne

It was truly a delight to have Frank and Joanne as neighbors and are saddened to learn of his passing. When we moved in, he coached me on mowing lines into my lawn. We shared many memorable neighborly chats and parties. You are missed, Frank.

My sympathy to you, Gregg, Ken and families. There were so many children in the neighborhood on Winfield and you guys were some of the best. Remember the good times with your dad.

Joanne and family...
We were saddened to hear of Frank's passing. Although, I had only met him a handful of times, I know there were many wonderful moments shared between both of you and my parents - he was a good friend. God's blessings.

We were very sorry to hear that Frank had passed away. The last time he was in our office, to arrange our sponsorship of the Hole-in-One for the St. James golf outing, he was the smiling Frank we will always remember. May God give all of you strength by His Word and presence.

My condolences to Joanne and all the children and grandchildren. I am a St. Agnes classmate of Frank's and met you long ago at a reunion. I have not been to a reunion lately because of my husband's health. My memories of Frank are that he was always a leader and ready to do more than his share. I am so sorry for your loss. Mary Roets
