I grew up with his daughter Sylvia, from 1st grade to high school. As a little girl I spent many wonderful moments in the Flores household, which was always full of love and laughter. Though those times are years away now, the memories remain. My thoughts, love and prayers to the Flores family and the many many friends who mourn Frank's passing, but are blessed richly to have known him. Peace be with all of you.
