Lucas, Linda and her guys,
My heart goes out to you all. So many fond memories the most recent was of “cousin” Frank’s hospitality on my trip to Alaska in 2007. I had a bit of time in Bellingham, waiting for the ferry. Frank made it a point to come down for a bite to eat and a long chat about all times and catching up on the family.
Others have mentioned the times on Fairway Drive and at Uncle Bill’s, and Frank’s wonderful laugh. Remembering them all now reminds me how much he will be missed by the ones he loved.
Lucas, you did a great job on the tribute to your father.
Goodbye Frank,

Franko! One of my best and longtime buds-Dean and I are going to miss our annual visits of many years. I am going to miss your smile and laughter but these things are forever in my mind. No struggles only peace now. I know you’ll watch over me and my family with a smile on your face. Rest peacefully my dear friend. With love I think of you, Val and family

Remembering the lunch I went to with my cousin Frank, a few years ago. Sitting in a Ramona restaurant, enjoying the great Mexican food, and talking of Franks’ trips to my parents house, on Steffy Rd.Talking through Frank’s fondness towards life lessons he learned through the trips to visit his “Uncle Bill’. We talked of hunting the backwoods of Ramona, working hard-digging ditches and family. Sorrowfully, I say good bye to a voice that sounded a lot like my Dads. Peace to you, Lucas…the son Frank was so lovingly proud of. Peace to you Linda, your time with Frank these past few years was blessed. Praying you all celebrate the special life.. that was Frank’s…and find the comfort you seek. Deb

So sorry to hear about Frank’s passing. We spent a lot of time together in High School and the stories I could tell. Although we went our separate ways, I thought of Frank often and was so very glad we got a chance to catch up when my Mom passed a while back. Next time i’m on the Harley I’ll make it a special ride just for Frank. Peace brother.
