I just posted a message for another fellow Town Employee I worked with at the Groton Town Police Department. I just recently learned of Frank's passing and was so surprised. I was not aware of his sickness. It is a shame that once you retire you lose contact with so many people you really liked and respected. Frank was certainly one of those people. He was dedicated to his job as a 911 dispatcher as well as being active in the Noank community. I know he will be greatly missed. Frank I pray for your family at this time and you RIP.
