I am sure I an many others will think about him whenever we are in your area. I know he was well liked.
Sincerely,

Extending my deepest sympathy to your family. Praying for comfort since God welcomed Frank, a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather into heaven. A picture of a family man always smiling and ready to joke, with a twinkle in his eye, comes to mind. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
