I knew Frank from working at one of the local doctors offices. He was a friendly, loving person. Always a treat to help him and Susie. A wonderful man. I am sorry to hear of his passing. Susie, I will keep you in my prayers.

One of my favorite memories from the old Bethel Temple was Frank out in the foyer, always saying something funny to us kids, and shaking our hands. I will always treasure that. Larry Brown
