It's a shocker to hear of loosing someone so young, so special to so many people. We all have our special memories of Frank, and those memories will live in our hearts forever, and can never be taken away from us! We should be thankful that he shared a part of our lives. Nothing with Frank was passive, he always left an impact, even with his death. I wish his family comfort & strength knowing he has eternal peace.

I am so sad about Frank. We worked together at Omnova for 23 years. He became one of my best buddies. He was always joking, never a dull moment. Work will never be the same without him. I have lost a good friend. He will be missed.

I posted this on FaceBook and wanted it here also
How do we loose touch? Why do we loose touch? This news sickens me in ways I can never explain. Frankie was my first and best friend growing up. We lived across the street from each other and were together 24/7. I remember us both getting those cheap NFL uniforms, Frank was the Washington Redskin's Bobby Mitchell and I was the Baltimore Colts Johnny Unitas. And as it would of been in real life Johnny U had no chance of catching Bobby Mitchell. Frank was a great athelete and was the original Micheal Jordon because what ever sport Frank was playing especially Basketball that tongue was out lol. I can't tell you how many times he bit it . Frank was in my wedding ( on Cruch's) from an Alumni Football game mishap. I loved Frank then and now that it is to late I realize I still love him today. Call an old friend today and say hi. I'll miss you Frankie
