I am so sorry to hear that Frank has passed away. He was such a pleasure have around work at Friendship Village. Frank would often times knock on the buffet door where I would be working while he was on his way to order pancakes. His favorite. I would look over at the door and notice his eye looking through one of the clear windows, smiling. He talked about his family, New York, how glad he was that he got his car back and plenty of other wonderful things. I will never forget his sense of humor and his company. I am so grateful to have known Frank and to have had him as a friend. To the Montagna family: you have all been so kind to allow me to visit Frank while he was in the hospital. I appreciate that so much. I am here anytime if you need me. Peace & love.
