You will be greatly missed big brother
Always a great brother-in-law!!
Frank and listen to the beach boys often in his blue Ford falcon. We would be dancing in his car like little kids. I know he loved the Minnesota Vikings because he loved wearing his purple shirt in College in the 70s. I love the guy we were so much a like when we were together, just having fun.
Frank and Linda have always been very special to me. They were both beloved members of our church family. Frank will always be missed, but he will always be with us in our hearts. Praying for you, Linda and all your loved ones.
I worked with Frankie back in the early 2000s. He was always incredibly kind and understanding. We became fast friends, but fell out of touch over the years. He was a great man with an enormous heart.
I worked with Frank at Jacksonville Middle School. He was always so kind and helpful. Praying for his family.
Frank was an incredibly hard worker, servant of people, and man of character. I got the privilege to work with him at two schools in Jacksonville and I will miss his caring nature and our conversations. A wonderful man
