Being a religious man, Frank was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. He will be missed by many especially his longtime IBM buddies Don Palmer and Peter Smith. Also, a special thank you to his friend Lynn Townsend and cousin Gary Collins who were there to help him in any way they could. The world was a better place with Frank in it, he will be greatly missed.Even though we are all grief stricken that he is gone, we are all thankful that he is at peace and no longer suffering. Now he is our special angel watching over us. Until I see you again Frank, I will always love you, your wife Carol.
