Uncle Frank..... I liked sharing our red hair in common as we were certainly a minority on this side of the family. Although most of my memories of you are from many years ago, time doesn't fade the fact that I loved you and always thought that you were a terrific dad. I remember you working very hard to provide great things for your family. I missed you at our water skiing and camping trips because you had to work but were thankful that your work let the rest of the family come have fun with us! And boy did we have fun! RIP and love to your family.

Mr. Frank was my neighbor. I walked by his house at least once a day and if he was outside he never failed to smile and speak to me. He will be missed.
