I was Frank's longest running customer and friend. We met when he had the old shop in Pompano. He fixed my hair texture and color when I was 19 and we continued our friendship through his purchase of the Boca Polo Club Salon including his expansion into the bank next door. Once I relocated to Brevard county on occasion when I had to drive three hours to have my full head of highlights done we'd celebrate with a shot of Grey Goose from his vault. I'd be sober by the time we were done. His long time stylist John was always wanting to cut my hair but color was all I was there for, that and the business discussions Frank and I had. It went on from 1983 to 2006. Maria and the boys might remember the hot shot blonde in the black corvette that owned a limousine business .Your family was a huge part of my time in Florida. God bless Frank. God bless your family. P.S. He would never believe that I ended up a rancher in WV with the love of my life.
