I met John Frank in 1983 and we shared wonderful times together in both the auto and van business. Our relationship transcended work...we were "friends!"



John Frank was a hard-working, family oriented man who dedicated himself arduously to everything.



Everyone will miss a tremendous man.

I had the priviledge of working with John for the last year. Being a female in the car business can be quite challenging, John acted as my "sanity" on several occassions. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers go to his wonderful and caring family. He will be dearly missed. God Bless

Ann: There are no words to express my sorrow for your loss. I will always remember laughing at the stuff you told me he would say when you visited him. Even when he knew how sick he was he managed to keep a great sense of humor. That alone says so much about a person. Hold dear to those memories as they will see you through this difficult time. Love, Cindy
