My deepest sympathies to Sylvia and to all of Frank's family. Our world has lost someone very special to all of us. Frank was not only a mentor but a friend and one of the most warm hearted caring people I ever worked with or ever met. The words of kindness and wisdon he bestowed upon me will last a life time. Frank taught me things I thought I could never learn or I will never forget. I am truly saddened by the loss of my second "dad". I lost a friend today.

There will be such a void in our family without Frank. I feel so blessed to know this man and lucky enough to be his sister-in-law. What a wonderful man! You will be missed. And to my sister, we will work things out. And to his children, be strong, he will still be with you. Love to all.
