For Jenn, Amy, Frank and Keith.
Please accept my sincere condolences. Frank and Florence were such good friends for so many years.
If you recall, I worked with Frank at Boats Inc. starting in 1972.

I first met Frank at Boats Inc where we both worked. Frank was great to be around, decent man, good sense of humor. Always made me feel comfortable and was easy to talk to. I was just a teenager and Frank provided a good example. He was friend of my Mom and later married Florrie who was the Mom of boyhood friend Keith. His Dad was best buds with my Dad and the web of life goes on, a big circle. Frank has now gone home to the Lord and is well received I'm sure. So long Frank. I extend my condolences to the family & friends.
