My deepest sympathies. Uncle Frank was wonderful. He was devoted to his family and always supportive. I always wished he were my father. He told great stories and was always someone I could turn to for advice. What a full and fulfilling life he had and what a legacy he left behind in his terrific children and all of his grands. I’ll miss you, Uncle Frank. God speed and rest easy. My love goes to my Aunt Gladys and my cousins. Blessed be. Barb
