Frank was a kind and sweet man. He was my 1st friend, when we moved out here. He taught me to play Domninoes and I think he let me win. He will be so much missed, as we used to talk an hour at a time, even the day before this happened. Please feel free to stop by or to call, Edith. You are welcome. Frank is and will be missed so much. God bless
