Condolences. I googled Frank because of the fond memories I have of him as my boss at the Quincy shipyard. I liked him a lot. He was a breath of fresh air in an environment that was a bit harsh. Good rest your soul Frank.

Evelyn And Family,

It's been 6 years since Frank
passed. Gone but not forgotten.
He was a nice guy with a good sense of humor. I knew him from working at Angel View. Met Evelyn
at the Angel View Christmas parties. Nice couple.

Sincerely,
Pat Aranjo
