Uncle Frank (my beloved god father); I will miss him so. He has showed me exactly what a god parent should be. Having a godchild of my own now, I only hope that I can show Jayden 1/2 the love that uncle Frank showed me. I am blessed that Frank was part of my life for the time he was here. He will be missed dearly, but I know he will be watching over me & my new family.

Love you Frank!

I have known Frank for 53 (we are the same age) and my family and Frank's were always extremely close. His parent's, Don and Jane were always Uncle Don and Aunt Jane to us. Frank and Ann were like a brother and sister to me and my brother, Buz. Even after we grew up and the Dunlop family moved away to VT, NY and PA, we still kept in touch. Words fail to describe how I feel about this loss of one of my closest friends on earth. Ann, Marilyn and others close to Frank, you have my deepest sympathy and I share your pain.

To all of Frank's family and Friends: I learned of Frank,s passing yesterday morning, and my tears have yet to dry. Frank and I shared a wonderful friendship over 40 plus years, without a single argument or disagreement, but plenty of love and support. When I told Elaine, my wife of Frank's passing, she cried and as she and I contacted each of our four adult children and let them know each of them cried. Frank was a gift to all of us he has left us better for having known him and from having his example of how to love, live and celebrate life. The memories of him which I now reflect on are, and will continue to be a source of joy, love and thankfulness for having him in my life.

With our love, respect and prayers for your family and friends, we will miss you until we see you again!

Ken, Elaine, Kevin, Erin(Frank's God Child), Katy and Shane- The Hylands
