My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Frontz. He taught me how to drive at Manheim Central. Growing up without a car in my family, his lessons alone enabled me to become a successful driver. May he Rest in Peace.

Mr Frontz was strict but fair, (didn’t always feel that way at the time) an excellent driver’s education teacher. Why they dropped that off most schools programs is a mystery and the results are obvious. Thoughts and prayers to his family. I send my thanks to the family for what he taught me…and apologize for not telling him.

Dear Mary Ann & Family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Clint was such a SPECIAL person! It was wonderful watching him on Sunday mornings at St. Peter’s. He recognized “visitors” immediately and always made them feel welcome. We will ALL miss him and I know his family will especially miss him. He is probably already WELCOMING “new” arrivals in Heaven!

Clint was a VERY special person and will be missed greatly! He had such a warm and friendly personality and was wonderful at greeting both “visitors” and “old timers” at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. I hope he will be greeting me some day.
