Mr. Frank is a jewel of a man who always put family first! I will never forget spending nights with Robin as a child and "dad" always being so gracious and loving.
His spirit lives on in our hearts and memories! Robin and Tonya my thoughts and prayers are with you and family and may God's love comfort you during this time of loss. We love you!

Dear Frank,
You will be missed but not forgotten. My memories of our youth are still vivid and wonderful. The world and your family are now absent a truly good father/grandfather and I of a friend and cousin. We have all the best intentions of reaching out, reconnecting with family and loved ones but somehow never find the time to do so. It is only in moments like this that one realizes that certain things should not be put aside or left to another day. Now it is too late and I for one am sorry that I missed the opportunity to reconnect, chat about our childhood, catch up on family and loved ones. And thank you for the childhood memories we generated and the love of family we shared.
Rest in peace Frank; I know Jesus will guide you during your next journey. Get to know the place and someday we will need your help as we too make the journey.
Love you Cousin,
Richard

Jean and Frank’s children….My deepest sympathies. Found out too late to attend the services. I will be with you in spirit.
