Frank was a friend whom I enjoyed meeting at concerts and casual run-ins when we were both shopping at Wegmans and could stop and chat for a few minutes. He was an intelligent and interesting conversationalist with a strong interest in classical music; he was a strong supporter of the Chamber Music Society of Bethlehem, an interest we shared. I will miss him, and am sorry that I learned of his death too late to acknowledge him at his wake. I want to extend my sympathy to his family and other friends.

I met Frank at Parkland High School in 1982.
He was a genuinely nice colleague, unlike some of the other teachers there.
