I grew up near Franks family and always felt welcome in their home, had lots of great meals with them.
Frank could repair any bicycle breakdown regardless of how severe. Nothing ever seemed to upset him. I have always thought of Frank as a good honest and clean living person. It has been an honor to call him my friend!
Frank’s saying ‘ that’s a good bus’ will forever stay in my memory of him at Young. His was pleasant to be around and have great conversation. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.
