I just learned of Franks passing and feel compelled to make note of the influence he had on me, both as his 2nd Lt navigator flying the B52 but also as a roll model in life. He was a rock solid human being and I feel lucky to have known him.
God speed, Frank!

I had some college classes with Frank. He was a very nice man.

My most favorite memory of you is a trip we once took when you and my dad went around fixing bells!

I remember watching the movie Airplane with you in KC. We laughed and laughed. You were always very nice to me. I'm lucky to have known you.

I am so sorry to hear this. He was a massive influence on me. A friend that was there to help me choose the path less traveled. I am sending comfort thoughts to Nancy, Susan and the entire family.

I was blessed to have you as my father. You taught me all about life and the blessing we have every day and every moment.
Thank you and I will see you in a while. We will go fishing together. You can just be there. Love always, Sue
