Because of Frank Hartenstein Sr. and his lovely, always a delight, wife, Pat Hartenstein, I am blessed to have my first born son, Frank Hartenstein IV, now 14 years old, as of January 1, 2021. One day when he was three or four years old we were at the bait shop, and in the sunlight I noticed Mr. Hartenstein's light blue eyes. Looking at my son, I saw the identical color in his. "He's got your eye color exactly, " I said with a smile. I'll not forget the twinkle in his eyes when he then looked at Frankie and smiled lovingly at him. ❤ Thank you Frank and Pat ❤ Love never dies. we Love u both always<><
