Frank was a kind individual. He had a good sense of humor. We went to Ripon High School together. We played on a couple of baseball teams together. 2 or 3 people I know have been trying to get in touch with him over the past 10 years or so with no success. The last time I saw him was at a Christian Music concert in Turlock about 20 yrs ago.
