Frank was a great friend. He was always there for me and my family. I will always remember Frank in my heart. Over the years he was there when I needed something done at my home. We shared time together in the Royal Rangers, dinners on Sunday after Church, and at many other events during the years. He will be missed and I know he is receiving his reward in heaven now.
