Dear Carol, Jody, & Mark,
Please accept my sincere condolances for the loss of such a wonderful man. The twinkle in his eye will always be present in one way or another as he looks after all those he loved. I'll never forget the salt lick story; you may very well be right....how many of you have heard this story? Frank was always so interesting and unique. I will truly miss him.

Frank was an amazing man. You were so lucky to have him in your life. I enjoyed the little time I got to spend with him. I can actually say I learned something every time we chatted. Frank would have liked knowing that.

Hi Carol & Family
Please receive my sincerest and deepest sympaties for you and your family on Frank’s passing and your great loss. Finding words for times like this is never easy. His obituary describes him well “ A friend to many near and far”. Hopefully dwelling on the good times you had together will give you the strenth to go forward.

Carol, family, friends,
Without Frank, the world is a smaller, poorer place, because Frank was a friend unlike any other, always ready to help and lend a hand: even in his final weeks and days, his thoughts were always on helping others, on cheering the world, on the next adventure. So when we cry, we can only cry for ourselves, because we can't share his company any longer. Frank is surely galloping on an eternal polo field, sailing endless seas on this, his last adventurous trip. We have his memories.

We are so very sorry for your loss. At times like this it is always important to remember the wonderful times that were shared, and cherish them forever. I will always remember Uncle Frank dressing up as Santa for all of us at Grandma's house one year, and him smiling down at us while handing out gifts to all the cousins. I will never forget him laughing at all the excitement he had created. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you.

Carol, Mark and Jodie - I couldn't leave without giving you my heartfelt condolences at this time of loss and sadness for your family. Frank was a lovely man who always held a special affection in my heart (perhaps because we shared the same birth day!). My condolences also to Gail, who has been kind enough to give me mini-updates over the last several years on Frank's many adventures and brave battles! I know Ron Crook and Glen Fraser will miss him terribly . I am out of the country from April 4th to 30th and will be unable to attend his service and for this, I am truly sorry and again please accept my sincere condolences. Darlene
