Please accept my sincerest sympathy in the passing of Frank. I remember how kind that he was to me back in HS and College. So many years have passed since then. May you heal and find peace. Love, Donna Kozee Sharpe
Jessica, Michael and family, please accept our condolences for the loss of your grandfather and loved one. We love you both. Love Brian and Kelly
Frank was a great friend. He was always there for me and my family. I will always remember Frank in my heart. Over the years he was there when I needed something done at my home. We shared time together in the Royal Rangers, dinners on Sunday after Church, and at many other events during the years. He will be missed and I know he is receiving his reward in heaven now.
