    We are sorry to read of the passing of Frank. It is so tough when family looses a member and w ehope you can find strength to get thru this.

  7. We are so sorry to lose a great neighbor. Frank was such a funny, kind man who was never too busy to talk and catch up with all of us. He will be missed by all of us.

  8. I am saddened by the loss of what I consider a very special friend. To live with you, work with you, and to celebrate life in diverse ways was special and memorable. You were one of the few who truly was a man of your word, always believing that you could do anything if you put your mind to it. I shed tears thinking of some of the crazy days we lived, like you walking to Townville on snow shoes to get Lisa her favorite cereal during the blizzard of 1976-1977. I now feel your loss much in the way that I know you felt the loss of Lisa. Good Bye Fud, I’ll never forget you.

  9. Alene, Sis, Art, John and Warren,

    So sorry to read about Frank. He was down at the house several months ago and had a chance to talk with him about many things. He brought a picture that he wanted Bob to have. It was one of all the guys that ran around together in high school. We hope he found the peace he was looking for. Told him the only way to have peace was with his relationship with the Lord. I’m sure he had heard that many times from his mother. Our heartfelt condolences go out to each of you at this time of loss, and we just trust that Frank found his peace.

  10. I will always remember the fun time we had together. I’m so thankful for our time at Thanksgiving that was such a special time. After Hurricane Katrina we were so blessed to have Frank and several others come down and help us with our house. As a child all my memories your my right hand man you were always there with me thank you brother for being you.
