Dear Helen,
I am a volunteer at Gurwin 6 days a week and I saw Frank several times a week, and I am certain that you and I met more than once. I am saddened to learn of Frank´s passing. Remember, that even though he has entered into the life of eternal peace, he still abides with you in the acts of goodness he performed and in the hearts of those who will always cherish his blessed memory. May the beauty of his life serve as a loving benediction, and may the Almighty grant you and your family comfort and peace.

I have so many wonderful memories of Frank, and the Murdocks. Being in Teams together and the great get-togethers, including at Sunken Meadow. I remember Frank was always the encourager of games. Then staying at your house for a couple of weeks while my parents were away, including over one Halloween. He was a man of compassion, caring and love. Many warm thoughts to the whole family. May you all find peace in the loving memories. Paul Porcino
