The world is an emptier place without a wonderful guy like Frank...funny, sincere, compassionate...he made everyone feel important...even "little sister" Joanie's friends...not many guys would've been so good to us all. It's a sad truth: the better the life, the bigger the void...but so many good things to hold on to and carry forward. Bless you all.

Frank and Gail have always been the parents who you wanted to hang out with. Even when hanging out with parents wasn't cool. They always made me feel welcome and accepted. Frank was always there with a joke. I will miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I love you all!

My first memories of Frank were back in 1968 when I was visiting my best friend Joni in ICU after she had been in a terrible accident. We did not know if Joni would make it but Frank was there holding us all together with his humor. He and Gale really helped us get through this. I spoke with him last month and even then his humor was right out there -- he was telling me how he now had 3 wives with Joni and Shari helping Gale "boss" him around -- you could tell he loved it! I shall miss him very much but he will always be with us!

It seems our Aunt Bess needed a guide and an angel last week...I will cherish the BIG MAN in my heart forever and ever...From the age of 5 or 6 until now at 48 I have held Frank in my heart and will never ever let go.

I have only met Frank a few times in my life, and I will remember him as a wonderful man that always brought a smile to my face. I know that he was close to my grandmother and I know that they are both at peace and are with each other in good hands. We will always remember and love you!
