I worked with Frank for many years at Anitec, he was a lot of fun to work with. He loved his family and was so proud to be a Marine.

I did consider you as "my other brother". So many good memories of your jovial demeanor and generosity; not so much if you were caught holding the "5". But, share you did; food, drinks, advice, family and a great big comfortable bed for us "out of towners"... and the fine example you showed us all on how to have a good marriage - "a happy life". Admirable, Frank ... well noted and I may never have told you, but I admired your effort to be a Marine, Uncle Gorden as well. Thanks for the advice about military service during my "going into the USAF party".
... and a final comment, it's really bigger inside than it looks ...
Save me a seat at the card table ...PITCH!!
