Frank's passing has come as a big suprise to me. I am deeply sorry for this loss. Those of us that knew him will remember him as a kind hearted and generous man. He was a great surgeon and was fun to be around.I learned a lot from him in my earlier years of practice.
I would very much appreciate being notified of any memorial service so I may pay my respects.
