Frank often greeted me at Church, saying “Hi Barbie” then proceeded to tell a joke or story to make me laugh. One of 4 persons I cherished that called me “Barbie”. I will miss him every Sunday. John & I appreciated his wood working skills.
Lynn and family – Frank will definitely be missed. His quiet presence, his ability to come up with poetry on a moment’s notice, his gentle nature and care for others are just a few of the characteristics I recall. I’m sure you are feeling a void in your family, but hopefully the good memories will begin to dull the edge of grief as time goes on. Love to you!
