Tributes
"I think the one of the first memories I have of my uncle Frank is getting stuffed in the very back of that little Volkswagon bug and driving out to Bill and Marys it was so dusty ! and snakes in there apartment and Big Red games at our house on Saturdays lots of good times and memories! Love and Miss you uncle Frank"
"One of the things that I will miss most about Frank is his 6:00am phone calls. Nearly everyday since his retirement he would call to see what was going on that day. He had a need to know where everyone was and would call each of his siblings to check on them most days."
