I was thinking about Frank the other day and remembering the conversations we used to have. I always enjoyed talking with him and swapping "stories". I do miss that laugh as I'm sure you do also. A great man taken too early.

Just a memory. Frank and I had many long talks. Spoke of our children and grandchildren, how he enjoyed them and he was very proud of their accomplishments. Also shared good things for our health. Like Cherry juice and its benefits.
He helped my Grand children in Chicago when they had a problem.
He is greatly missed. A year has gone and he is still in our thoughts.

Prayers to the family

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Frank. We never met in person but I always enjoyed his calls. Once we got business out of the way, he was always quick with a joke or story. Frank was a very generous and kind soul.

My heartfelt sympathy to all the family. My cousin Frank was very kind to me and generous with his time when I visited in Detroit in 1984. So sad to hear of his passing.

Frank was a wonderful Grandfather figure to our son Ian. He was extremely patient and kind, and never once treated my son different because of his special needs. He will be sorely missed by all of us.

I will always remember my Uncle Frank's love, humor, and wit. His humorous birthday cards and holiday phone calls were a gift that I often treasured more than any present I received.

Uncle Frank's wit and humor had a profound impact on my life. Thoughts and prayers to Siobhan and Francis.

The world is certainly a less animated place with the loss of my Uncle Frank. I will miss the calls I had with him where he somehow always had a new hilarious story to tell me (most of the time involving an embarrassing anecdote about my dad). He truly had a way with words in all forms. Not a single holiday or birthday passed where a card from "Uncle Frank and The Gang" didn't come through. He was the best uncle to my brother and I, a wonderful brother to our father, a loving father to my cousins and I'm sure nothing short of the best grandpa to Wyatt, Eirinn and Ellerie. See you on the other/better side Uncle Frank!

Our Heartfelt Sympathy to Francis Jnr., Siobhan, Nathan, Wyatt, Eirinn and Ellerie on the passing of your loving Father & Grandfather.

Frank was a truly Wonderful Cousin to us all. He was a prolific letter writer. Seeing his beautiful handwriting on the envelope meant a good laugh was only a read away. We admired the way he described things with such clarity & style, his hilarious jokes and his hand-drawn 'Smilies' which were a work of art.

Frank's life was well lived, always giving of himself in the pursuit of other's happiness.

Frank you shone so brightly Shine On !
You will never be Forgotten and Forever Loved. May your Generous Soul & Beautiful Spirit Rest In Peace.

Frank was a wonderful brother, friend, and father. He was always there for me with words
of support and comfort when I needed them the most.
I will miss his great sense of humor.
his smiley faces on his letters.and
his jokes that he always ended our weekly
conversations.
May God hold him in the palm of his hands
