Frank was an admirable man. He was so very set in his ways, proud of his beliefs and I admired him very much for that. Although he had to communicate via writing and even then was a man of few words, Frank truly saw people and appreciated when people truly saw him as well. I haven't regularly worked with Frank in about a year but had the privaledge of seeing him in his last days. I am grateful to have known such a prestigious and grateful man as Frank. May he Rest In Peace and god bless !

I only had privilege of working with Frank for around a year. Frank couldn't hear very well but would read and right notes back and forth. He enjoyed looking nice each day and would often want to wear a tie. He liked going to get his hair cut at the Arnot Barbershop where they knew him well. He also liked going out for ice cream. I remember the first time we went out to get some ice cream. He was smiles when he saw what we were going to get. He was quick to tell me "strawberry" and this became his favorite each time we went.
I had to stop working in 2014 but I would try to stop by once in awhile to say hello. He will be missed.

Frank was a beloved member of the home where he lived for many years. He was a devoted Catholic. He was a sharp dresser and loved wearing ties. His long life is a testament of his determination to not only survive some difficult situations but to thrive despite them. He was a special person to many and leaves a huge hole in the hearts of those who loved him so dearly.
