What a wise, kind and lovely man you were! I feel privileged to have known you Frank. Your presence always brought a profound sense of peace and harmony to our Tao classes. We are deeply saddened by your passing, but we thank you for being such an inspiring role model for all of us!

The times I shared with Frank showed me what a kind, caring, and extremely spiritual, person he was. Perhaps the greatest gift je offered was the grounding and strength he gave to Regina. Besides taking her in when she had no place to go, he became her haven and point of peace when she needed it most. Frank, indeed, was a special angel sent to teach us all the meaning of loving kindness towards others. Go with God, Frank. Love, Barbara

Deepest condolences to Regina and all of Frank's family and friends.
Frank made an impact on those of us in the Tao classes, not by what he said so much (always thoughtful), but who he was as a person. He had such a compassionate and loving way about him. He was really someone to emulate. He touched the heart of all he met. R.I.P.

Frank will be dearly missed by all of us that had the pleasure to spend time with him! Frank brought a wonderful contribution to every single space that he attended! His wisdom, kind and thoughtful insight to every conversation and material that we studied together will be appreciated forever! I was blessed to have spent time learning together with Frank for several years. Frank taught us all to live in harmony by his beautiful example. He will be missed by all that knew him.
Deepest sympathy,
Nancy Wetstein

Frank, I miss you. The day after you passed away, I saw a cardinal outside my window and I thought of you and the story you once told us about a yellow cardinal. Something I did not even know existed.

You are like that yellow cardinal. Something rare and precious. I´ll never forget how humble you were and how you always considered everyone´s point of view. You listened to people in a way that few of us have the capacity for. If there were more people like you in this world, we would have peace on the planet in 10 seconds. Thank you, Frank, for showing me and others what it means to be compassionate and strong. You are a treasure that I keep in my heart.

This is a picture I took of you in 2015. You graciously agreed to model an aviator hat I knit. Keep on flying!
