When Frank worked at the Seashore as a chef, my friends Mick and Christine would go there a couple Fridays out of the month. He was always so generous with us. We would buy food and dance and he without fail would send us champagne and of course come over to chat with us. As I got older, my husband and I would follow him to whatever restaurant he was running at the time to support him. He will always be remembered by my husband Adam and I as a kind hearted man that never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be missed. May Frank RIP. Heaven has another Angel.

I remember Frank for his generosity and friendship. When Frank worked at the Seashore a few Fridays a month, my friends Mick and Christine would go there. He would send us Champagne, we would dance. He would always come and hang with us and laugh about what was going at the time. As I got older, my husband would follow him to whatever restaurant he was running to support his business and of course to visit him. He will always be remembered fondly as a kind hearted guy. May Frank RIP.
