Brenda and I extend our deepest condolences to Ginnie and their family. We have the fondest memories of many FHRA trips, dinners and golf outings, but my favorite was the day we drove to Ingleside in a pickup truck with Ginnie and Brenda in the open bed on a cool fall day. Went to get some railroad ties at another Bornquist employee. The girls nearly froze but the laughter and memories of that day are priceless. Frank had the heart of gold and I have the utmost respect for his work ethic and dedication to his family.

We will miss Frank, and know he went straight up to heaven! I have fond memories of spending time with the Thinnes family up in Door County canoeing and eating s'mores!! I also shared many weekends at their home on Blackthorn. Love and prayers to Frank's loving family to whom he left his legacy. XOXO Kristen Poggensee

To Ginnie, Jane, Andy, and Mary,

Corina and I, and our children, are so saddened by your/our loss, and want you to know that Frank is in our prayers on his journey home.

Our friendship goes back almost 60 years when we moved our family to Redwood Lane. The good times we spent together in Northbrook, Longboat Key, Ireland, England, Italy...the cruises...Wisconsin...so many times of happiness and fun. We remember the many, many Friday nights with Joni and Bob and you...it was a treasure

Frankie was one of a kind...faithful, funny, loving...and he had a fierce love for you and his family that was obvious. I am sure that God has a special place for a good man devoted to his family and friends, but he will be sorely missed.

May God hold him in the palm of His hand.

Love from us all...

Corina and John Fitzpatrick
