Not sure what to say?

after all these years I still remember and vividly recall my old friend Frank Mina who I met in the late 1960´s. Last week I attended a Columbia Lawyers event with some old friends of Frank and we spent hours telling Frank stories! He was one in a million and is a beloved, highly respected and always remembered lawyer and friend.

Uncle Frank,

I will miss our conversations while listening to your favorite music collections, especially Willie Nelson. You were witty and funny, and I always enjoyed our visits. Your spirit will endure; you were one of a kind!

Love always,

Kathy

Uncle Frank, you truly will be missed. I always enjoyed our conversations and enjoyed meeting up with you. Most of all your great appreciation of music will be with me. Miss you. Jennifer and I will always keep you in our prayers.

To say that Frank will be missed is an understatement. No longer will we be able to hear that unmistakable accent, and no longer will we get to hear his dry sense of humor. That is what saddens me the most.

I know that he truly had an honest sense of family. As when this happens to someone we care about, I wish I would have been able to spend more time with him.

In the Greek Orthodox tradition, we say that as long as someone is remembered, they are never truly gone. Frank will always be remembered. We'll miss you Frank.

I mourn your death but cherish our memories. There is a void in my life that will never disappear. Though we lived apart for many years, we shared a special bond that continued to strengthen and grow with time. The words of the song "My Way" capture your independent spirit and stubborn determination and are one of the many things that remind me of you. I miss your voice, your smile, your wit and your sense of humor. Your dedication to your profession and many legal achievements are a testimony to your outstanding career. Your vibrant personality enriched the lives of many people and enabled you to earn their respect and admiration. You will always be my soul mate and love of my life.

Maryanne and I were so fortunate to have spent many happy hours in Frank's company. It was impossible not to like him. He was kind, thoughtful, generous and caring. He was one of the most worthwhile people I have known and he will be missed by all those whose lives he touched. Our condolences to Rosemary and to his family.

Dear Frank.... our annual dinners before Christmas with you and Rosemary are now a thing of the past. Peg and I have great memories of our libations and the dinners and the fun that followed. We always looked forward to these and sadly they will now have to remain fond memories. Rest in peace, Counselor. Love Peg&Chuck

Growing up Frank was a big part of our family from my grandfather's side. My grandfather adored him as we all did. Such great memories of a great, classy guy. I have a picture of us dancing at a family wedding when I was about 16. I will cherish that pic! With love,
