Rest in Heavenly Paradise Frank. You were like a Grandfather to me and Jeff. I have so many childhood memories with you, Ann and Michael. Playing Yahtzee, dominoes, cards. Loving on the black and white dogs and their puppies. Mom dropping me off when I would get sick at school and I would sleep in the middle bedroom. My most wonderful memory was Christmas time when you would talk to me over the radio acting like you were Santa Claus. Your love for my daughter was also very special to me, she loved you so. You loved us as your own and we loved you something big. I’ll miss the heck out of you!!!! I know my daddy will miss his MGD buddy. Watch over us, protect us and keep us safe as you have earned your wings. Love you!
Frank you were so special to Allan and I. We really miss seeing and talking with you. Your friendship was everything to us. We will take care of Ann. Know that you were loved so very much. Allan will miss seeing his buddy too. May You Rest In Peace. Love Allan and Becky Knape

The memories I hold of you Frank are ones of endearment. When Sean and I would come to visit you never once made me feel unwelcomed and I could see the love you had for Ann and Sean was great! I noticed all the times you would gently caress her foot as we sat and visited always tending to her every need as best you could. You were her Darling and she was yours. You will truly be missed until we meet again!
Frank worked for us at Rald Industries in Freeport for several years. He was indeed hard-headed, but not in a demeaning or abusive way. I thought the world of Frank. I wish I could have seen him again before he passed.
