I met Frank in 1972 when we were at Bishop Carroll High School together. We became good buddies for those years. I ran into Frank a few years ago during a business transaction. I am so sorry for your loss, but rest assured Frank is in a better place with Our Lord. My condolences to his family. He was an excellent human being! We need more like him.

I am so sorry to hear of Frank´s passing.
My thoughts and prayers to you Karen and your entire family and friends. Only knew him a short time but he made quite an impression on me, my daughter and granddaughter when we went out to Fall River to measure for the fence!

I am still in disbelief of his passing.
Frankie was one of the best humans I have ever known own. He loved my sister & my niece more than anything in this world. He was a hard working successful business man. A great Husband, Father & Brother In Law. An excellent cook & loved to cook for family & friends. He was fun & funny not to mention a tough act for anyone to follow. He loved to be at the lake & fish with Mick & Olivia. He was "The Slab Master". He will be missed & loved by many.
Love for him always
from his favorite Sister In Law Sandi!
Jim and Susie and family
