I remember Frank with good and fond memories from the Bun-n-Bru. I met his daughter Dawn there. She even took me to their house one time. He raised good children. Years later I ran into his son at Kings Bay Naval Base by chance. So sad to hear of his passing. Prayers!

We are so sorry for your loss. I (Char) worked at the Bun & Brew and the one thing I found to be true about Frank was his love of the kitchen, if you wanted to learn he was willing to teach. He had a roar of a lion, but the heart of a teddy bear. Our thoughts and prayers to the family at this most difficult time.

I worked for Frank at 'Wrights bun and brew' years ago. Frank was a hard working man, which made his business succsessful. He was funny, kind ,however he treated you like a strict father to keep you in line!..which I probably needed at that time. I'll never forget him. Sincere condolenses to the family.
