Skip, Jeff, & Derek,
I was sorry to learn that Frank passed away. My condolences to you and your family. I’ll always remember Frank’s cheerful greeting, " I just sat down. Wadda you want?", when stopping by to pick up glass. ( I did some editing on that, it was usually a little more colorful!) Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Terry and I would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the family of Frank. Please know that we are here if there is anything we could do for you. It is hard to lose someone so close, we know this first hand. However, keeping his spirit, smile and memories of his life close, will help. I did enjoy seeing him on a regular basis, always a smile and a joke along the way. He will be missed. Again, our condolences to you all.
Love and prayers,
Terry and Cheri Taglieri

This goes out to my brothers and all of our family. Our father is resting in peace now. God is taking care of Patti Ann and Dad and they are watching over us as a family. May we all be strong, loving, and take care of each other along the path ahead. A special thanks to my Momma that she always looked after Dad. I love each and every one of you…
Susie and Frank
