I was one of Frank's extra daughters for many years. The Bielaski family has showered me with much love during my life and Frankie always cheered me on. A soft loving soul who left a lasting impression on me.

My deepest sympathies to the Bielaski family. I bowled with Frank for many years and lost touch with him when my husband became disabled. I will always remember Frank for his beautiful smile and his warmness to others.

Frank was the first sight we saw when we turned into the neighborhood, puttering around in the yard--always looking up from whatever he was doing with a bright smile and a wave. Shadowbrook and Bridgeton will never be the same. Our good neighbor of 40 years is gone. He was a lovely man. Our prayers are with the family.
