"Tonia and Family, Frank was such a great man. I am so glad I got the opportunity to know him, joke with him, and visit. We would visit about his dog, his faith, and how proud he was of his family. Thinking of you at this difficult time. Sending you thoughts and prayers. He will be missed dearly by many."
