I knew Frank from his participation in Our Lady Of Lords, Catholic Church, New Holland RCIA program. Being a fellow Navy retiree, we had many discussions of our many experiences in the military. It was a joy to have known him both as a devoted Catholic and patriotic American. 8 Bells for Frank.

I am so sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He was a man of many talents. His demeanor was admirable and a great example and inspiration to me. I always enjoyed my talks with him (and Sylvia).
