... I met Frank just a year ago, and I will never forget him! I saw him nearly every day and we had many great conversations. What an amazing guy! If I could live the rest of my days and be just half the man he was ... I'd feel successful! I am truly blessed for knowing him!

Frank was a warm person, could not help but enjoy being with him. Also he was a man of service. Our community is blessed to have had him for much of his long life. Best wishes to the family in their loss.

Frank was such a delightful warm man who was such a joy to all who were blessed to have known him. I will always remember sleep overs at his house when he was Mayor and visits to Tahoe with Lori. He was a great cook and charming host. Love you, Gaylene
Love and blessings to all the family!
