To the Frank Tamba Family
I was going through the obituaries to look for my moms obituary and as I was looking I saw that Frank Tamba had passed, I was very sad because of all the fond memories I have of Frank and my dads friendship, (Bill Farley) they worked together at the Marin County Yard in Nicasio. I think Frank was the Foreman. I remember him as being a very,very nice man. My dad had friends but not like Mr.Tamba. I can´t remember all the things ( he did for my dad as my dad passed away in 1984) but I do remember my dad NEVER had anything bad to say about Frank. I often wondered about him and now I have closer.
Thank you Mr. Tamba for being such a wonderful friend to my dad.
I write this to your family from a very Grateful son who saw through a very busy life everything going on and saw a very special man Frank Tamba.
Sincerely,
Tim Farley son of Bill Farley

I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I work at the Safeway that was formally G&G Market.I remember Frank and his wife from G&G days at the store.They were among my favorite customers. Then when the store became Safeway, they still shopped at the store.When his wife passed, I would see him shopping for himself and it made me sad to remember them together all those years.I was always pleased to see Frank as he was always delightful and very dear.Please know that he made a positive impact in this world with his kindness.

We have so many wonderful memories of Frank's infectious smile and genuine kindness not to mention his willingness to take on everyone else's broken farm equipment and repair it meticulously. A true old timer! He will be dearly missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of the Tamba family.
