Dear Barbara, Mike, and family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your dad. My late father introduced me to Frank when I was running for City Council in 1976. The thing that I most remember and respect about Frank, was that when he gave you his word, you could take it to the bank! He was old school. Sincerely David Sasso
