I feel blessed to have known Frank. We only worked together for three years but I felt like I had known him longer. I really respected him for the love he had for Joanie and the boys. I have three boys too so we would talk about the boys:) We had a great team at work and we had a lot of fun times.
I am sad I didn't get to say goodbye for now but I know we will meet again through christ.

I feel as if I have lost a member of my family, having known Frank for 25 years, I will miss his gentle nature, his quick wit and humor. Why are those, who are truly good, taken from us? I will always remember the movies, dinners, and shopping trips with Frank and Joni . I will miss the exitement in Franks' eyes when a birthday or holiday came around and he would ask me to help pick out a present for his lovely wife! I felt honored to do so, and he loved getting something beautiful for Joni.
To his family, I extend my thanks for allowing me to have time with Frank, and for sharing their friendship with me. I will remember Frank always , such a good, good man.
