My most sincere and reverent condolences upon the passing of my first cousin.
My memories include seeing this handsome cavalry soldier visit my mother who was his favorite aunt..As friends and acquaintances of Frankie, please accept my sincere condolences.
The country has lost a soldier, a WWII veteran, and a devout patriot.
J. Skip Adams and family
I want to send a tribute to Frank on Memorial Day as we honored our soldiers of war. He was so proud of his country and his years of service in the Army and Air Force. He railed against the liberal leanings of today’s politicians.
Frank was very much part of our family, as my sister was his dear friend for thirty-seven years. I particularly remember Frank and Marge visiting us many times in Boston on their way to their annual camping trip in Acadia, Maine. Frank was a good man, unique and entertaining in many ways. I will miss him.

Frank was a major influence in my life. We were close friends for 37 years. Frank was "adopted" by my family. I have many fond memories of Frank and the unique direct way that he expressed himself.
