Frank missed his calling, he should have been a standup comedian. He was always making people laugh, the many years I worked with Frank at Cortese Dodge were enlightening because of Franks quick wit and ability to make us smile, even through the toughest of times! He has gone too soon and will always be remembered as someone who always made us smile!

Frank had something special when it came to animals, they loved him and every time we we near a dog, horse, they followed him around like that knew he loved them. Amazing.

My mother and I met Frank in Fort Lauderdale. We had many drinks that week in the tikki hut. Frank took us under his wing and made sure we felt safe and had fun....and that our glass was never empty!! We were looking forward to seeing him again in Florida and would touch base on messenger. He touched our heart in such a short time. His love for his dog and animals was made of gold. The tikki hut will never quite be the same. Rest east Frank. Dayle & Sharon from Toronto
