didnt know Frank. But know Anne. Have been thinking of you throughout the past several years. Going through stuff and getting rid of unnecessary stuff. Came across a card from you Anne. And thought I would look for you on google. Saw this and was sorry read of Franks passing, dont remember if John mentioned it to me. Love you and think of you often. Hugs.

Frank will be sorely missed at Schweinhaut Senior Center. His presence there was always known. You never ceased to amaze me with your strong opinions, your wonderful art work, your billiards skills and most of all your love for our center. You held a special place in our hearts. I will miss you rallying for me and being so supportive through some difficult times. I always knew when Frank was "in the building" and I will miss that. Rest in peace now Frank and God Bless you and your family. Anne be strong and please keep in touch. Much Love from your Schweinhaut friends.

I knew Frank since I was in Junior High School, which was over 50 years ago and have many enjoyable memories of his energy and inquisitiveness. He will be missed: God bless Frank.

Thinking of you, Anne, Craig & Carol and Scott. So sad to hear the news today. Frank had a special zest for living. Somehow I know the party has started in Heaven. Sending much love to all, Robin
