I know many will miss Frank in his passing. I remember many a morning sitting in the cafeteria @ HMC having coffee with Frank and his side kick Ray Wilson. Those two guys were always entertaining and could make me laugh my head off. I know family and friends will miss him so much . I know God awaits him at the gates and I am betting Ray has been hanging around looking for his friend. RIP Frank ..
