Words can't truly convey how much Chris and I enjoyed Frank. There will be different "lunches on Wednesdays" for me without him being there to share "war stories" and recall Air Force friends. Our thought and prayers are and have been with you and the family. Let us know if we can do anything. Trust we will continue to see you at some of the outings. Love Chris and Mac
