Frank was a valuable member of the Rocky Mountain Climbers Club. We appreciate his contributions to the club. His "job" at our gatherings was to make the coffee. He donated a coffee maker to the club so we could all enjoy his special brews. We will always think of Frank as we try to replicate his coffee skills. He also volunteered for any maintenance task at the cabin as well. The club will miss him.

Many fond memories of Uncle Frank and Aunt Ilse's visits to Detroit. Even though I lived far away, they were often in my thoughts. My condolences.

Our beloved Frank, I'm so sad you are gone, we loved visiting you and having lunch, sharing jokes, talking about the old women. I will miss you forever! You and Ilse guided me through a big part of my life. Your grand-babies will miss you so much and I will always honor your wishes.
