I remember Frank and Jeanne in Ciko´s. My friend and me went to Ciko´s for lunch when we worked in Woodbury. It was a great place to eat. I wish it was still Ciko´s as it never was the same. So sorry for your loss. May Frank RIP

I remember when he built his new diner and spent many a night there with friends. It was a great and good part of Woodbury that produced many new friendships that will remember him for quite awhile. Thank you for letting us enjoy your vision.
