Keim Family - Many happy memories of the past, Frank always had a smile and he made us smile. Roger was glad he got to talk to him lately and they had the chance to evaluate the Phillies and the Eagles. Praying the Lord will comfort, uphold and give you all strength in this difficult time.

Gene and family. Sorry to hear Frank has passed. Pat and I were home last weekend with Roger and Carol. We spoke of you both. I will always remember the smile of frank. He had a funny comment most of the time. I will remember the days we all prepared for Barnsville. They were all fun with Framk around. During the years I worked either with,around or close to him at Mack trucks will always be remembered. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. Forgive us for not attending the services.

Sorry to hear about Frank's passing. He was one of the BEST! One of a kind for sure. A true character. I have memories of him that will last through my life time and all bring me laughter. I will miss him. What I want to know is....what are he and Kermit doing now? I'm not sure they'd want us to know. Love you all, Kuhy

Jean,
So sorry to hear Frank as passed away, I remember him as being a very mild and yes very nice man, the first time we meet him at a Christmas Party many years ago, plus I always enjoyed seeing the both of you at Leesport Flea Market. My deepest Sympathy to you and your family.
