Dear Arlene, I am sorry I missed the service for Frank yesterday. I wanted to tell you that Frank made such a positive impact on my sons´ life through Boy Scouts. The scout leader really makes a difference in the troop! We will never forget his kindness, and willingness to teach the boys. ( Thomas Buttrick). Sincerely, Jan ( Buttrick) Boyd
