I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Frank. I was a young engineer, and Sikorsky was my first job. I remember Frank being extremely patient and a very good engineer. Frank and I had a common interest in small engines. Frank took me to a vintage equipment show and introduced me to his hobby of collecting small crawlers, so very cool. I moved to Missouri in 1994 and lost touch. I was watching YouTube on 3-1-25 seeing old equipment restoration. When his spirit popped into my head, and it took me a couple seconds to remember his name. From that one vintage equipment show he introduced me to Hit and Miss engines. I still have that interest to this day. I so believe Franks Spirit is alive and well. I thank God for introducing me to Frank. For the very short time I knew Frank he still is in my heart. Because of that 2 second thought about Frank I did a quick Google search and found the very sad news. But at the same time, I was extremely happy to see he had such a long great life with his wife. I cannot even explain my thoughts in my head right now. Just know Frank was a great man and his spirit is alive and well. I know my story is repeated a hundred thousand times. I thank God at 63 I had the short time to know Frank. I repeat his spirit is very alive.
