I served with Frank in Korea, 1971-72, when we were both Criminal Investigators assigned to the 2nd Military Police Detachment (Criminal Investigation Division) Seoul, S. Korea. I recall his great sense of humor which made our tour of duty overseas a little more enjoyable. I also remember his smelly cigars at the table when we spent hours playing cards with our other CID Agent buddies. Fond memories serving with Frank. Our paths crossed again in Germany in 1973 or so but we were not assigned to the same area with the CID in Germany. I knew Frank as a hard working and fully dedicated Criminal Investigator in the US Army who was always helpful, thorough and fair. He had a GREAT sense of humor which always helped during difficult times and often long hours conducting criminal investigations and processing some bad crime scenes. My deepest and sincere condolences to the Latendresse Family. Save me a place at the card table Frank --- Rest In Peace my friend.
