Anna Marie,
I was so shocked to learn of Mr. Frank's death. I am so very sorry for your loss. I didn't know Mr. Frank for long but it was quickly obvious how much he enjoyed the kids. I will miss his greetings and friendliness as I am sure many others will also. I hope you and your family will take comfort in knowing that he was well-liked by so many.

To the Skaro Family,
I was one of Frank's many customers at the autobody shop on Edgewood Avenue. Frank was wonderful to me. He fixed my car several times after a few accidents and he was always there to help me out. I have never forgotten that. I wouldn't have made it without his help. He certainly touched my life. You have my deepest sympathy.

Chrissey,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family at the loss of your dad. I lost my dad when he was only 57 years old, too young, too much life yet to live. Please know that each day gets a little better even though you never really get over the pain of the loss. And with each day you do learn to cherish all those precious memories more than you can realize right now.
