My first and every memory of Frank were the same...a first class individual who truly cared about people. I was a co-worker of his in the 1990´s at Ethicon and every interaction with him was pleasant and uplifting. We routinely discussed work and family but after we retired, he mainly wanted to talk about family...which showed his overwhelming love for Esther and their family. Rest in peace my friend.
