Always like a Brother to me, Frank was playful, upbeat, caring, generous and a great friend. A wonderful husband and I so admired his perseverance! He is gone too soon but I know he is at piece up there in heaven and still smiling and joking…. He will be missed!
I send my most sincere condolences to Mary and all of Frank's relatives. Of course, I knew Frank because of Mary's involvement in the accordion field. I remember him so well because of the tremendous support and courage he gave to Mary to practice, travel, perform, and become the well-known artist she now is throughout the world today. I am so sorry for the loss of your Frank and I know he will be sorely missed by all. You have my most sincere sympathy. (PS to Frank: I hope they have some bright pink nail polish in Heaven!)
We did't have the pleasure of knowing Frank but want to express our deepest sympathy to Mary and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
From all of your students, present and former, we are thinking of you during this difficult time. We know how much Frank meant to you and therefore he means a lot to us!
Frank was a good friend and co-worker. He came to our softball games every Sunday in the Sunday morning softball league and supported our team. He will be missed in our thoughts and hearts.
