I often think of the story Casey told me when Frank slipped on the ice in the pig pen. It makes me laugh everytime!! I will never forget him. He was a hard working gentleman and a teddy bear underneath...They don't make them like that anymore. Joyce, please have comfort as this is Frank's "graduation" to a place so beautiful our human minds cannot comprehend. This is not the end, only a "moment" before his family is reunited once again in Heaven. He'll be waiting. I'm so glad I got to meet him.

I remember Mr Nonnemacher from the Barnes Rd neighborhood. I was a young girl and played with his kids daily. I have never forgotten the Nonnemachers and often wondered where they moved to. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, I have wonderful memories of those days. Love and peace to you all.

My condolences to the family.
Frank was very influential in my life. I was the first woman to work for PNB in any "outside" job on this side of the mountains. Ken Swenson was my first boss and Frank was helping him herd us cats. There were about a dozen of us newbys and we didn't know a splice from a Baker Board. I didn't know how Frank felt about having a woman invade this male space, but he was always fair and taught me a great deal about splicing, and I am grateful to him. I had a 30 year career working "outside". I thank him for his kindnesses.

I grew up in the insurance office, with my mom working there. Frank made sure I had plenty of paper w/carbon paper for me to do 'office work' on. Sometimes he even let me sit at his desk! :) My thoughts & prayers are with you Joyce & family. ~Danielle Hogan

I've heard so many wonderful and loving stories of Mr. Nonnemacher's life through his daughter Christie. I therefore want to pass along my condolences to his family. God Bless you all and may He send you an abundance of healing strength and comfort.
