I met Frank, through Danny Melchiorre, at the St. Mary's Festival. Frank was a fun loving guy, spirited, and full of great stories. I remember sitting around the table with Danny, Timmy Cline, Frank, and Maria Melchiorre (Danny's daughter) just roaring with laughter at Frank's stories. I so enjoyed his company. He will be missed. My condolences to the Loyola family.
