To the Bieniek family, My deepest condolences to you in your time of grief and sorrow. Although I didn't know "Beans" personally, I did have the opportunity to work with him at several of the Dunellen Senior Citizen's Christmas luncheons when he would do the cooking! Always a delicious meal! He always was a positive and visible presence around town. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Bieniek family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I was friends with your mom since High School and was with her when she and your Dad met and spent a lot of time with both of them before they were married. I was also Maid of Honor at their wedding. Your parents were both wonderful people and I like to think they're together again. I'll pray for your family and for their souls.

Frank was a great guy. He went to school with my sister-in-law in Pa. and was a fellow Legion member. He loved Dunellen and always did what he felt was best for that wonderful town. Having been a former Dunellen police officer I know how much he loved that town. He will be missed by all.

I visited Frank most recently just this past Friday. He told me he had a rough session of PT, but the next day would be better. That was the man.
Now he is with his beloved Barbara.

Mr. Bieniek always cared about the town that he lived in and the kids that grew up there. I was one of those kids. It was an honor to have known him and laugh at some of the stuff he would say. He made a mean pork Roll egg and cheese at Coach's Corner. Rest in Peace Mr. Beans!
