Chrisy, we will never forget Frankie. I am so glad he is not suffering anymore. I prayed for him everynight. I only wish I could be with you at this time. I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow and right now as you are at the wake. I will miss the breakfasts with Frankie and bringing him presents from out trips. I can see him now working in the yard. I am so happy I was able to see him when I was up there. Please take care and know I am here for you when you want to call me. I told Brian I would wait until you called me and you felt you could talk. I know it is hard. I love you my sister Chrissy.xoxo
Love Kathy and James

Dear Frank --
We'll miss you, but I definitely have some fond memories...
I always enjoyed hearing about your latest 'house projects' because I knew you always had either something currently in the works, or an idea for the future. The ideas were limitless and craftsmanship was always beautiful, whether you were working inside or out. Green Pond Road never looked the same after you and Chris moved in!
Whenever Chris and I were out for the day, or travelling abroad, I always chuckled at her bringing home a little gift/treat for Frank. It was a nice gesture and something that I know you looked forward to.
I have many fond memories of sleepovers at your house with Clancy, sitting outside in the gazebo, or in front of that big roaring fire in your living room. I still chuckle at you and Clancy in the pick up truck going out for coffee and a newspaper.
But most of all, I treasure your smile, your caring way, sense of humor, irascibility at times, and your friendship.
Don't worry; we'll all take care of Chris. I know you're smiling down at all of us.
Much Love,
Lisa (and Clancy, the Pooch)

When Frank became a good friend to my brother, he instantly became a friend of the family. His friendly smile and warm personality captured the attention of our children as well. Although he didn't know us very well, being the friend he was, he came with my brother to help us move...and what a chore it was! Whenever we visited my brother, Frank paid us all a visit and even spoiled the kids from time to time. His absence has left a hole in quite a few hearts but his time with us can never be forgotten. Thank you, Frank for being such a good friend to my brother and his family.

Some things I will always remember about Frank - the lost art of craftsmanship that he sure had, his dry sense of humor, talking to him about that crazy stock market, his long lasting trucks and absolutely amazing green thumb. I think that right now up in heaven in the clouds flys a sail plane glider, impeccably kept, and if you were to look in the pilot window you would see Frank with a smile on his face saying "don't worry about me, I have a wonderful view from up here!"

I will miss Frank so much.He and I clicked right away.We had so many things in common. He and I shared a love of nature and gardening.We would often talk about what we were planting in the garden.I was always amazed at his green thumb.His gorgeous flowers and abundant vegetables.He loved to spend time in his garden.
I admired him,as it seemed he could do anything.
We also shared a love for planes.Not the modern ones,but vintage aircraft.When I took a biplane sightseeing ride this summer in Cape Cod,I could'nt wait to tell him. I wanted to call him from the plane, and tell him the thrill, the excitement I felt as we took off.I called when I returned from the trip.I described every aspect of the trip.
As he lay in the hospital bed,during one of his many stays in the hospital,he was adamant that Chris get something as soon as possible from the car parked in the lot.Chris brought into the hospital room a small biplane model that he wanted me to have.He had purchased it and wanted me to always remember that plane ride.I will always remember him, for what he did in life, not only his accomplishments,but the amazing effect he had on so many people in his life.

Frank was so very special to both me and my daughter, Emily.
He will be greatly missed. Heaven is so much more special now that Frank has made it his home.

I lost my friend yesterday. The only word I can use to describe Frank is "friend". I am very saddened by the loss of this man. From the day I first met him he welcomed me as if I were family and treated me as such from that day forward. I remember that day as if it were yesterday. He came on over, wondering who this fellow was and why he has driving his truck over the lawn to dump off a load of firewood. From that day on he referred to me as his "redneck neighbor". We spent many days together sitting outside his garage, solving the problems of the world. Whenever I needed help with something, he was there to offer. I could go on and on with all the memories he has left me with. He will be truly missed but forever remembered. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Christine and all of Franks's family and many friends.
