Dear Rita, Norm and family, we are deeply saddened to hear of Frong's passing. Not only being neighbors on 16th street (Joe), but as friends and a customer when we lived on Arquilla Drive. Please know that all of you are in our prayers and hope this helps in this difficult time. God bless you all. With deepest sympathy, Joe and Sue Rosati
