We were friends in grade school, high school and at King's College. Frank was a great guy and, though we were not in touch in adulthood, I thought of him often and I am very saddened to hear of his passing.

I had the privilege of meeting and working with Frank nearly 20 years ago through the Mohawk Valley Manufacturing Consortium. It was always a joy to collaborate with Frank on many projects helping companies in the Mohawk Valley area. Frank's knowledge, experience and sense of humor are things that will be dearly missed.
My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Frank's family and friends. You will be dearly missed my friend. God Bless, Pat Miller
