Grandpa , I will always remember you, as you had a big part of my childhood. A man as humble and loving as Grandpa will always be remembered by those of us who knew him and loved him. Although we will miss him, his smile and his love, we take consolation in the good feelings of our memories. I will forever cherish the memories and hold onto them in my heart. I love you gramps. Fly high❤️

Frank was a great friend of our family. We will miss him but hold his memories close to our hearts and be glad that we shared time with him and his family. Frank always had a saying that was “get out of the road.” Which I’m sure he’s saying on the way to heaven. Take care friend and travel well.
