Frank was my uncle and one of the kindest, gentlest souls I've ever met. Due to the large distance between us, I only got to visit with him every couple years when he would come up to Minnesota. I will miss his big smile and his even bigger hugs. God Bless you Uncle Frank, I love you and miss you. Michelle
I love you Dad! I know you are happy where you are now, with Madelyn & your Heavenly Father. I will always miss you, Dad.

I was very shocked to hear the news of your passing. I was going to call you not too long before your death to tell you that you were going to have another great grandson. Now I regret not calling you after your visit in June to us. I'm glad that we all got to see you again and that you got to meet your first great grand child. We all love and miss you dearly.

I am with you in spirit. Unfortunately, all flights to Shreveport on Sunday were all overbooked, so I couldn't make it for the Memorial Service. Love to everyone.

Frank's adopted family in Shreveport, the Kairos Prison Ministry community, sadly mourns the loss of this great Matthew 25 warrior. Frank led the first Kairos Weekend at David Wade Correctional Center near Homer, La. The last weekend of his earthly life was spent serving on the team presenting Kairos #35 at DWCC. Both the local Kairos community and the community inside the prison will miss this gentle giant of a man, a powerful witness for his Lord and Savior.
