My brother in Ontario CA passed me Frank's obit. Ivaguely remember when my stepfather (Vicente Venegas) would take us to visit Frank & Vera(Elvira) in Montclair CA (?) back in the 50's. I think Frank was nicknamed TUNA but as I near age 72, my memory is not what it once was. I do remember the pics in Frank's hallway of him in his army uniform and also of him in his boxer attire.I did not realize he had also beenan army champion in Okinowa. More power to him. I remember they had 3 kids one who was Frank Jr but I do not remember the others. It appears Frank had a good life full of family & friends. My condolences to all of Frank's surviving family & may Frank rest in peace
