The friendly smile, the reassuring look, and the quizzical smirk are now just memories. But the memories of Frank will always be good ones. We worked with Frank in the NESCD and shared a common bond in the daily routines of "keeping it afloat". May you now rest in eternal peace.

To Red's family; For the living, we have our memories. I'm thankful those past experiences run for 30 years, from Bobby and I playing ball together, having coached Glenn, and of course, the fishing. Thank God you were there to make memories. You will be missed.

Frank will be sadly missed. I am so sorry for your loss. Frank was a good man and I will be forever grateful that I took his advice and went camping at Sacandaga. He kept telling me I should and I finally did. It became a very special place for me and without Frank, I would have never discovered it.
