Dear Cahouet Family,
I remember the kindness of your family.

We are so sorry to hear about Frank. We learned about his passing by accident: our son-in-law saw the announcement in the Wall Street Journal and how he knew of our friendship I'll never know.. A rush of fond memories come to mind and we offer you our deepest sympathies even after all these years.

Dear Cahouet Family,

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mr. Cahouet. I was quite moved to hear of his passing, as Mr. Cahouet was a strong mentor to me during his tenure on the Board of Directors of National Bank Holdings. I'll always remember him for his positive outlook and words of encouragement as we went about the hard business of building a new banking organization. His leadership was instrumental to our success in accomplishing that objective.

Dear Cahouet Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always be grateful to Mr. Cahouet for his support of Pitt as a trustee, volunteer donor and me personally. He was a role model for me as he lived his Catholic faith in his professional and volunteer life. You will be in my prayers.

Cahouet Family,
You have my deepest sympathies on the passing of Mr. Cahouet. I was a Mellon employee when Frank came to Mellon and he did a lot to save the bank from bankruptcy. May he rest in eternal peace and may perpetual light shine upon him.
