Dearest Frank, You have been a fixture in the lives of my family for as long as I can remember and you were loved as one of our own ...you were called Uncle Frank with great affection. As we all grew older we saw each other less and less..losing track from time to time. But we always managed to meet again and catch up. We all loved you dearly and mourn your passing but are greatful that your pain has ended. You were a great man with a wonderful heart and I cannot look back on my childhood without seeing you there somewhere. RIP dear man...you will be missed. Love you always,- Tina (Scott) Maynard...and the Pepin family.

May you rest in peace my dear father, you have left me with life lessons and strength that will be passed on for generations to come. The good Lord showed us he was taking you home and although the pain of missing you gets overwhelming sometimes I know that you are at peace and we will meet again one day.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of Frank. He was such a gentle, kind and loving person. Distance never stopped his love for his family. Frank will always be a part of my life and love. It's with a sad heart that I say goodbye for now. Those who have known Frank as I have will find times when we smile thinking of a memory we shared with him.
