I was a Cosmo friend of Franks. I am also a neighbor up the hill. Very sorry I missed the service. A fault of no longer being a Cosmo or taking the paper. I always enjoyed sitting with Frank at breakfast. He was a wonderful man. Always kind and pleasant. He will be missed

Frank will be dearly missed by the coffee gang and I from McDonalds. Frank was my Insurance man for years until he retired. I will miss talking with him about hunting adventures when he was having coffee with Tammy & Don. Frank was one of the nicest, caring people I ever met. He went out of his way to ask how my late parapalegic wife was doing and a tears would come from his eyes and when she was with me having coffee, he always took the time to come and talk to her. He always asked us & I if we needed anything. He was just a standup guy and I am proud to say I considered him a friend. See you again one day.

Our deepest sympathy to you, Betty, as we remember Frank and the many years of a special friendship with you both.
He will be dearly missed.
