Our deepest sympathies to the Aguilar Family. We were next-door neighbors in Burlingame for 5 years. Although our conversations were normally short and in passing, Frank was wonderful and kind person. He was always quick with wave and smile for our young kids, even from his blue racing car rolling down the Street. You could tell he raised his family well, as the children were hard-working, friendly and caring, all carrying on Frank's best attributes. Our apologies for late recognition, as we moved away earlier this year and just heard the sad news.

The Harris family extends our sympathies to the Aguilars. Frank Sr commitment to family and community was an inspiration to all. When I was a child, my father (San Mateo Lumber) pointed Frank out many times as a he drove the heavy equipment and told me of his work ethic and the quality of his kids. Happily, I had many opportunities to tell my own children those same things as we would drive by Frank doing the same thing up to just a few weeks ago.

Our connection even goes back to Frank playing ball in the 1950´s on my grandfathers team (Snappy Cleaners) at Central Park in San Mateo.

My father so appreciated Frank.

God bless him and you all.

Jim Harris on behalf our family
