A wonderful friend to many, one of the kindest men I have had the pleasure of knowing. He will be missed by so many who were lucky enough to know him. There are alot of sad "Darlins'" at this time. This world was a better place because of Frank's presence here. His wonderful spirit and smile will live on in his children and the people that he touched.
