We enjoyed dancing with you and Frank in our OverAlls Square Dance Club. We all had a great time together as Joe Kula, our caller, kept us dancing in our squares. We enjoyed seeing you each week and hearing about your travels. May God be with you and comfort you.

Frank was always fun to be around. Whether at work or just out getting a bite to eat, he always brought a smile to my face. He was a very good friend to me and he helped me through some very tough times with his jovial demeanor and can-do attitude. I will miss him very much.

It was always a pleasure to be in Mr. Brough's company. Just a very happy and positive man. Both Sharon and himself raised a wonderful son and one of my best friends. He will be dearly missed.
