Eilene sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Eileen and family-I was so sorry to hear about Frank. I am out-of-town and just now heard this news. Sally and I send our sincere condolences. Take care Eileen.
I’m sorry for your loss. I knew Frank from the ARMY back in the 1960s.. We both went to Ft. Monmouth Signal School in New Jersey at the same time and also ended up serving at Camp Zama, Japan together in 1967. After the Service he came to visit me in Ohio and I later visited him in Nebraska about 1970. I remember going for a ride on his Harley Sportster and it was quite a thrill as Frank liked to ride in the “fast lane”, that’s for sure. We didn’t keep in touch after that but I will always remember Frank fondly as a friendly, colorful guy who loved motorcycles and to tell stories. God Bless… RIP.
Dear Aunt Eileen-So sorry to hear about Uncle Frank (though I never got the opportunity to meet him). I don’t know if you had heard, but Mom (Anita) passed Sept. 8, 2011. If I have cousins, I wouldn’t mind meeting them. As well as Mom, Aunt Deloras has passed. I’m not certain of the date, but it was after my mom. If you would like to open a line of communications, I gave my email address to this site and it should be posted. Thinking of you, your niece, JoAnne
