So very sorry to hear of Frank´s passing. We grew very fond of him as our neighbor. We will truly miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who loved him.
So glad to have met you, Frank. Loved watching you clearing snow with that old bobcat. You looked content and in your element. You will be missed.
