PJ and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I have you in my prayers.
I just wanted to share my deepest condolences and sympathies for the family. Frank and I worked and served together many years in the Guard. He was a mentor to me and a friend. Frank had a a heart of gold and a faith that was inspiring and it hit me hard when i heard yesterday. I know his faith lead him home to the loving arms of God .
Sincerly

I am very sorry for the loss of Frank. I worked with Frank while he was working in the CT National Guard. I certainly enjoyed working with him. I appreciated his humor and the professionalism in which he conducted himself.
God Bless,
