My sincere sympathies to Aunt Pat and the rest of the family. I'll always remember the fishing trips to Lake Bimidji and the Wolf River with him and my Dad. They were good times.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Frank's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, may that bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.

I have fond childhood memories of eating pancakes out of Uncle Frank's new camper parked in front of Grandma's house. I also clearly remember when he bought Aunt Pat's engagement ring and was so excited to propose to her. It was fun to watch him build his house, too. In his later years, Warren really enjoyed and cherished all of his stories. RIP Uncle Frank
