Frank was a quiet man. He didn’t tell you how to be a good person in life, he showed you. He will always be remembered as a man who was there for his family. They will miss his smile.
His family will go on with great sorrow, but know that he will be forever in our hearts, and Jesus Christ will welcome him with open arms.
