I would like to offer my condolences to Sharon and all of Frank's family. I spent many happy times at Little Augusta, sometimes playing golf with Frank. He was such a fine gentleman (and a terrific golfer). My he rest in peace.

Dear Teresa, Sharon, Linda and family:
My dad and Frank's dad were very close friends. Also, my brother Elmer and Frank became very close. I believe they became best-man for both of their weddings. When they graduated high school, they left for Japan to study for one year, staying at my Uncle's home. In Seattle they were on the winning team in judo, and also team mates of the church baseball team.
I,in turn grew up with Frank's younger brother, Jiro.
In behalf of my brothers Elmer and Jim, and myself we extend our condolence to you.
