If I looked up and seen Frank coming my way, I was always welcomed with a big smile. He loved chatting and was always good for a joke or two. I always wanted to call him Boomer because you could hear his voice from a mile away. Frank certainly wasn’t afraid of work and could be seen around town doing his best for his employers. I’m sure nobody was ever disappointed in his productivity. I remember him in high school on the wrestling team, a worthy opponent for his teammates.
Rest In Peace Frank.
