Frank had a helluva tough and young life. Between his brother Tim being taken so young, and then his Dad, his struggles seemed often as he quickly became the man of the house before any guy should have to. He had 27 years of life and 50+ years of lost opportunity. I was with him when he died, Oct. 16, '88, and I still have his last KOOL in my desk drawer. He was a great friend with a brilliant mind. God speed Frank. TC and the Dodge boys.
Frank always seemed to catch a lot of shit. He always wore that unforgettable smile. Go with GOD young man and open the doors for us to follow. DKS and the Dodge Boys
Frank was my best friend. I cried the day he died. He left us way too early. I spent more time at his house than my own. I was with his family several times for the holidays.As Tony stated Frank had a rough go at it. Losing his brother and father had to be tough.I don't think any of us will ever forget all the partying at "the shop". For those who do not know, the shop is no longer there. It was knocked down sometime back. Frank's mom is still in town. I see her every now and then. How she ever stayed sane is beyond me. His sister Kris is still in the area employed at hy-vee. We all miss you Frank, have a velvet and coke for us.

I remember Frank as being fun. Remember the razzing he would get and how he gave it right back. It was all in fun and he embelished it.
