I was saddened yesterday when a classmate of Frank and me told of Frank's passing. We spent a lot of time together while in high school. I would watch Frank, Steve, Jerry, and Brian practice and perform their "rock concerts". We cruised Broadway in Frank's 225 Slant Six Duster that I pinstripe taped customized. We would eventually get rear-ended by the old fire station by Wilco Foods, retiring the car. I saw Frank and his sons "rockin' " the old Mr. Ono's in New Chicago a few years back. To his family, sorry for yours and our loss. Frank and I were tight when we were together as friends and my admiration and respect carried on the time we were apart. Good bye, my best friend in high school.
