Frank was one of the most kind, caring, friendly and honest people and I can proudly say that I'm a better person for having met him.
If you needed some sage advice Frank was your man. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge and could educate you about anything. Some of which included real estate of any kind, boating on the Great South Bay, South Shore history, the game of tennis (that he loved), or the pride and knowledge he carried as a Son of the Revolution. He was a straight shooter that spoke his mind and when he spoke you listened. You listened to him because he cared.
Frank was a truly wonderful man that accomplished so much and made a truly positive and lasting impression on so many. He had an abundance of friends because time with Frank just made you feel good and he cared so very deeply for his loving family. Frank's smile and enduring spirit will forever live in us all and we're all lucky to have a guy like Frank in our corner watching over us.
With much love and to Joan, Christian, Matt and Jenny.

To Joan, Christian, Matthew, Jenny and Molly: It is with a very heavy heart that I type this message. I'm so sorry for your loss. Frank was a wonderful man. I particularly remember how warm and welcoming he was-to everyone he met. He was happy, loving, forgiving, passionate and someone I looked up to as a father figure. He was so proud of you, Christian and Matthew. And Jenny- you were his little girl. Sending lots of love and hugs to all of you.

Dear cousin Joan and family, we send our deepest heartfelt sympathy and love to you all. I so admired Frank, having known him as uncle "Pud" since I was a child. Frank had such love and pride for family and friends, and I always enjoyed his great storytelling and positive stoke and energy. When I sailed the bay as a kid, I often stopped by Frank's boat when he was clamming off Bayberry to chat it up. He was a true bayman that loved his life on Long Island. Douglas, Jacqueline, and I will miss Frank greatly but will always treasure his wonderful spirit.

With fond family memories of times past and with deep respect for all that Frank shared. Frank truly enjoyed life, nature and equally if not more important, people & long conversations. Frank will be missed.
