So sorry to hear about Frank passing. He was a very sweet kind-hearted man. Praying for his family to feel the Lord’s comfort and peace.
My Dearest Friend, thank you for our conversations about our Uncle Frank & Aunt Blanche & Bat Cave. I enjoyed your warm & welcoming friendship & I am very grateful for your memories you shared with me. You dressed as handsome as your namesake & shared the same chivalrous manners as the original Frank did.Uncle Frank is still held in high regard thus many decades after saying goodbye to him & you will always be my treasured friend just as highly & closely held to my heart. In true Scottish Highlander custom there is no word for ‘Goodbye.’? so I leave this in tribute to you, ‘No road is a long one with good company.’? and until we someday meet again & continue our conversations about treasured family & the memories they have given us I will miss you tremendously.
Papaw Minn, you will be truly missed.. I have so many wonderful memories filled with a lifetime of love from you and granny.. You taught me how to care, how to love, how to be a better person.. You guided all of us thru this journey of life.. I am grateful you are happy and you are with granny minn. you will never know how thankful i am for everything you did for me, derek, and cory. You raised us as if we were your children. You shared your home and always gave us unconditional love. Thru the good and the bad, you were always there. I couldn’t have asked for a better grandfather and great grandfather for Reilly and Payton. They love you papaw. May you rest in peace now.. May you fly high and reach the stars and touch a cloud.. I know you will be watching over us and guiding us. I know you are in a better place. We will always love you.. Thank you again for being a wonderful grandfather.. I love you papaw minn..

Rick,
Eddie and I would like to send our condolences to you and your family. I have fond memories of your dad from Cranston and then later our conversations at the pharmacy. Eddie remembers him from your school days around the ball fields. He was such a kind man! You are in our thoughts and prayers!
