We enjoyed Frank’s friendship and personality. He was a fun person to be around.
Nell remembers when Frank was courting Lisa, he came to their farm in Tukwilla and gave Nell a ride on his motorcycle. Their mother was upset about this until she learned it was Frank; then it was OK.
Frank remembered and commented on this during our visit with him on his last day at the hospital.
To Lisa, my deepest sympathy. To Aunt Mary, sorry to hear about your dads sudden passing. Words are hard to come by at this time. All I can say is that we are sad to hear that Frank had passed away and we are also sad that we could not make the funeral. Deepest regrets.
