Dorthy, I am so sorry you found out so long after they passed. I actually have a photo of your farm that Frank shared with me. He was a fantastic brother and his wife Joann was wonderful. I miss him every day, and always will. I am in awe of how blessed he was to have great people in his life like you.
Thanks for thinking about him and sharing.
It would be great to be able to talk with you, not sure how to do that.

David, I am so happy you still think of Frank after 8 years. I know he was a great PA and loved his job, mostly because of people like you. Apparently he did a good job cause you are still here on earth to say nice things about him. I am so happy to hear your words. I miss my brother more than anything. He was my world.
Please stay healthy and take care of yourself, Frank would want that for you.
PS, next time you go to the VA, tell them I said hello. I miss them too.

It´s April 15 2021. I was a student of Franks at Stony Brook... class of 1991...Frank and Jo Ann came to our farm .... shortly after I graduated. And we exchanged Christmas Cards ever since. But we stopped receiving a return card for several years. But I never received them back as being unable to be delivered. And today for some reason he crossed my mind .... and I found his obituary.... I am extremely shocked to hear of his and Jo Ann´s passing. To his children and family I send my belated condolences. Frank was a fantastic teacher.... and mentor. Prayers to you all.

Oh dear Frank. I just heard this sad news from a PA colleague. My heart feels so sad over the loss of you and your wife Joann. You were such a consummate professor, a wonderful professional, and a gentle kind man! You taught us so much about how to carry ourselves professionally and personally. Another angel has gone to heaven. My thoughts & prayers are with your family at this difficult time! SBU PA Class of 1990

My husband, Ken Bubeck, and I were shocked when we heard about this tragic loss. Frank and Joann were our neighbors for the past 10 years. Our backyards are back to back and my husband and Frank would spend time chatting over the fence while Frank worked in his garden. Frank and Joann were very kind to us when we first moved to Delmar bringing over tomato's from the garden and letting us borrow their riding lawn mower until we purchased one of our own. They bought us monogramed towels as a house warming gift which I still use. Their daughter, Meghan, was our "puppysitter" when she was in high school. This is a tragic loss for two people so full of life and so young. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paul and Meghan and the extended family.

What a terrible loss. I had the great pleasure of meeting Frank back in the 70's when we worked together in the School of Radiology at the VA in Northport, NY. We quickly became great friends; the kind of friendship that lasts forever. Frank had a presence about him that made him special and unique. Not your ordinary guy. Always smiling and telling a story or joke like no one else could. When he spoke, he had a captive audience. His words stayed with you. He made a lasting impression on everyone that had the good fortune of crossing his path. He was an important part of my family and he was very proud to be my daughter's Godfather. There was no one better that we could have chosen. He was the smartest man I ever met, with wisdom beyond his years. He was always there to help, teach, listen, or make you laugh. He had a huge heart. It was an honor to call him my friend. Even if we didn't see each other or communicate for a while, he was always on my mind. When we did, it was like no time had passed. I can't say enough about the kind of person he was. The world was a better place because of him. He was one of my favorite people in the whole world and will be greatly missed. Thank you for all the great memories Frank. My heart goes out to Megan and Paul and the family.

Frank treated me at the VA for several months. I was so impressed by his insight, his attention to detail and by his care for me as an individual. My impression was that the great respect he enjoyed from his patients was mirrored among the medical professionals he worked with. I am so sorry that his family did not get to enjoy him more.

To Frank's son, daughter and extended family,
I worked with Frank in the VA clinics. He was a great person to work with I can honestly say I can never remember a day that he never had a smile on his face. May your mom and dad rest in peace together.

My sincere condolences to the family of this legendary VA caregiver, exemplary friend and coworker. When you heard his laugh and voice, you wanted to find him,for moments shared were filled with fun,brightness and great energy. The patients loved him,and many say they had hope to live thru Franks incredible care and bedside manner. To watch him interact with his dear cancer care team was just watching a master at life, reinforce the significance of time well spent,humor and love in appreciating every day. He was a proud radiologic technologist,that mentored many to constantly achieve the best in their professions. I so enjoyed Frank jumping in and walking with a flock of folks that were priveledged to have him join them on our walks to & from the parking lot! He always made you feel better and reflect on the moment. He was a true child of the sixties like myself;and I know what goes around comes around and as a result both he and his dear wife are being rewarded for their great life & spirit they shared with all of us. My prayers are with you thru this great loss of these incredible parents.

Frank was a gifted medical professional who always took the time to explain the numbers to me. He was enthusiastic and had a zest for life. I will miss his compassionate care and our interesting chats at the Albany VA. My deepest sympathy to and heartfelt prayers for his children, his siblings, his extended family and friends and his VA family and patients.

Extremely sad. I worked with Frank in the early 1990s both at Albany Medical Center and the Stratton VA. He was just one of the nicest people you could ever know, as Joann was as well. He was also arguably one of the finest PAs I have ever met.

Extremely saddened by the news as Frank and Joann were my neighbors and friends while growing up. Meghan and Paul will be in my thoughts as will the great memories I have.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4 : 14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
