Frank Lewis Arias

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of my cousin Frank Arias. Growing up in New Paltz, NY we were fortunate to live near one another.
Frankie's family lived 100 ft. from my grams Elizabeth Andradez. Jose and Catherine Arias were great people! When we were kids I still remember Jose telling us stories about Cuba. (before Castro course) I have a letter from Frankie (Vietnam) that I would gladly share with the your immediate family. I Also have one or two more things if I can remember where they are. I would also share anything on our family page when it's back up and running.
Frankie growing up was a wonderful cousin. I think his enlistment triggered my interest, as I hated school. Many of us thought of him often and also sent an invitation to all of you for our last reunion. He was close with his aunt Lizzy and also my mom Virginia Andradez. When still in NP he loved his sisters children as well as his brothers
Kimberly was his usual go to person for all of us.
Whatever you or your son need from us, I will try to help. You, your son and the rest of your family are our family. I have somehow become the source or bearer of good and bad news, and for info on our family. Many of whom help me on research. May our cousin Frank rest in peace. You're family has our condolences. Thank you for Frankie's service. We have a great family, I hope we all see one eanother some day. Peace, Ralph Andradez

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
