To Susan, Joe & Tony,

My heart is deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend. Frank & I have had many laughs thru the years. Even when he was chewing me out because I could not get the parts in quick enough so he could build machinery at the Reynolds Metals Can Division Machinery Plant, we were still laughing. I will miss our phone conversations but I will alway remember that great big smile. I will keep you and your family in my prayers
