I worked with Frank and he was a good guy to work with.  I am still in shock that he passed.  I had no idea he was sick.  I worked with him from the electric shop with crane issues over the last several years.  We always got along.  My prayers are with you.  Sincerely, Gary Baldwin

To the Family of Frank,
We were very saddened when we heard of Frank’s passing. Frank frequented the Dispensary over the last few months to keep us updated on his treatment coarse, or just for a friendly conversation. He had a great attitude about the whole process, and was always positive. Frank will be sadly missed. We are so sorry for your loss.
With Deep Sympathy,

Doris, Matt, and Ashlee, Praying that The Lord would comfort you and your family at this time of loss. Frank and I would often harass each other at work. I often joked with Frank about how i would never oversleep for work because his Harley always woke me ten minutes before my alarm went off. He will be missed.    Harry Matthew

Doris, Matt, & Ashlee
I’m going to miss the rides with Frank. Frank was a good friend and a brother motorcyclist. The trip to Barber’s Motorcycle Museum will always be a good memory.I’m still numb over the loss. I will really miss the rides. I pray that God will be with you during this time of grief. Know that he has no more pain or suffering. Frank is at home watching over, and waiting for when we will see him again. God Bless.
