Dear Marie, Paul and family. Our hearts go out to you with the passing of Frank, husband, father and true "gentle"man. It was such a privilege to be part of his caregiving team. The world has lost a wonderful, kind person. With love, Bill and Jo Parker

We are so sorry to learn today of Frank's passing. I've known Frank since our time at Utica College and he has been a friend throughout. Sadly, we learned of his passing today, Sept. 12th, thus unable to participate in any of the tributes in so much deserved. To Marie and the LaPuma children and relatives Dorothy and I send our most sincere sympathy for the passing of a dear friend and most worthwhile individual for his community and religious involvements.

I am sorry for Mr. LaPumas passing. I was just telling my wife about him yesterday. I loved when he would read chapters from books towards the end of the day. I remember one was about a boy who ran away from home and lived in the wilderness for the winter. It started me on a life of reading that enhanced my adult years.
