I remember when Tom was dating Rina and my advise to him was, "She's the only girl and the baby in an Italin family. Don't hurt her." Tom must have taken my advise because Frank said later he loved Tom like a son. He became a great friend to my husband Dave and to me. I will always remember Frank at the Easter dinner this year with his family and many friends around. We all had a wonderful time. We love you.

There is no words to say except how much i am going to miss my dad. He was everything to me. I will not be sad forever because what is bound on earth is bound in heaven. I will see my dad again and it will be the greatiest reunion ever.

I will always remember Frank. I remember working with him at Pioneer High School. I remember the Tahoe trips that we went on. I remember the relationship he had with young people. Most of all I remember his kind spirit and his friendliness to all. Jerry Hannon
