My condolences to the Schrader family. I only worked with Frank for a short period of time one summer at Baldwin, but he was very kind and generous, as is his brother Bob, whom I worked with for several years at QMG. I have never forgotten this as I have tried to emulate that in my professional career.

God Bless.
