I met and knew Frank and JoAnn via the Porsche Club. Frank was a incredibly nice guy and time spent in conversation with him (Porsche coffee meets) was fun and interesting. Heartfelt condolences to JoAnn and the Perry family. You shall be missed Frank. RIP!

Frank was a gracious, gentle, stately man. He always greeted people w/a smile, always friendly. His presence dominated the room. Frank will be missed by many particularly his Porsche Club friends.
