I will remember Frank as a very knowledgeable man who was always ready to help with projects. I will remember the time we shared at the Clover Rod and Gun Club during deer season as happy occasions. May he rest in peace.

Frank was a complicated man, not always easy to know but one thing was a constant, his love for our son, Frank Jr and our grandchildren, Eli and Heather. May he now rest in peace and know he will be remembered.
