A few personal memories about Dad that make me smile - the story behind the sugar dispenser in the dining room, every time I see a penny on the ground, when he would drive my grandfather home on a snowy evening from their house and only clean off the driver's side of the windshield, Europe in the 70's, when I was no more than 10 sitting in his convertible at his airbase as we waited anxiously for another plane to fly right over us seemingly close enough (and way loud enough) to touch. Good man. Good dad. Good times.

I consider myself fortunate to have had a father in law such as Frank. He will be greatly missed.
Frank was always willing to offer his life experience and advice whenever it was needed, and I will miss the conversations at the dinner table with him.
My children could not have asked for a more caring grandfather. He took pride in all of their accomplishments, and provided guidance that I know will stay with them all their lives.

Aunt Jo, Your family is in our prayers at this time. May God's Love give you the will to get through these sad days. I will always remember Uncle Frank as so tall and handsome and bringing us roller skates home from your honeymoon. God bless all of you.
