This man was larger than life! A huge personality who loved his Ohio St. Buckeyes and watching football! I will miss our talks on politics, sports, and life in general! Big Frank supported me as a young teen as a member of the Dreher Blue Devil Wrestling Team and continued to support me as an adult in my Wrestling Coaching career! He was like a second Dad to me! Was honored to call him my dear friend...will miss him greeting me with his "Hey Buddy" opening! I will treasure the memories of his friendship, especially all the times I watched the Ohio St. vs. Michigan game with him each year! Rest easy with our Lord Big Frank!

Love Always,

Your Buddy Paul D. Watson
