I had the pleasure of knowing Frank (and Ida)for quite some time. I will fondly remember his kind spirit, joie de vivre and his all around good nature. He loved and lived as a genuine person and was always true to himself. Ida, may memories of better times surround you and your family during this difficult time.
With love
