Frank was one in a million. We have never met anyone as special and in our remaining days, we know we won’t again.
He was more of a brother to us rather than a friend. We knew him for over 50 years. The time we lived across the street from him was very special and we will treasure those years forever. We hope they have a Dart Drug in Heaven as we know that will be one of his first stops after checking in .
