Dear Gail & "Butchie"-
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I remember him as a true gentleman. Seeing his picture brought back so many happy memories of our teenaged years together. CYC, Marian, Lincoln Street...Wow...where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday...Now we're old enough to be the grandparents of those kids I so fondly remember! Please convey my condolences to your mother. You are blessed to have had your parents for so many years. My love to you both.

My sincere condolences to all of you especially Evelyn. My late husband Jerry and I loved Frank. We knew him well through the Exchange Club of Worcester. Frank was very dedicated to causes. He wanted to make this a perfect world. He loved his wife Evelyn, his children and their spouses. He adored his grandchildren and always helped Evelyn when she cared for their grandchildren while their parents worked. He had a great smile and a welcoming handshake. Someone special has died. God rest his honorable soul.

It is alway's sad when an old friend passes. Frank was a great Cub Scout leader at St. Bernards. I remember all the good times we all had. I will remember you all in my prayer's.

Heartfelt condolences to Frank’s family and a prayer for this long time member of the Exchange Club. Frank was one of those unique individuals who always gave and contributed selflessly, never looking for or wanting a return. He is remembered.
