I'm very surprised to hear this. Last memory of Frank and Lynette was on the dance floor with them in October where they clearly won the twist competition! Our deepest condolensces to Lynette and family, so very sorry to hear this. Our prayers are with you all at this time.

My friend Jenny and I had just talked to Frank and his wife at the 45th reunion. He use to be a member of our "Mickey Mouse Bowl". We would play football at PV Park and wind up at my house for a party every Christmas. The crowd included Jim Skevington, Joe and Jenny Huerstel, Debbie Matthews and a whole list of champions. We will miss his wry sense of humor. My condolences go out to his wife, son and other close family. He was having such a great time dancing at the dinner! How sad!

Frank and I both graduated Palo Verde HS in 69' and later from the UofA in 73'; we both were in a number of classes together at the University together, where we became friends, since we both were enrolled in the BPA (College of Business & Public Admin~~ now it's the "Carl Eller School' etc etc).  I am shocked to hear of his passing; and I am so sorry I missed the PV 45 Year reunion this past October; RIP Frank.......He was such a nice guy!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry and surprised to hear of Frank's passing. I just saw him at our 45th reunion and he was so full of life. God has his own timeline for each of us and though it may not make sense to us God must have had special plans for Frank. I will keep his family in my prayers. Lauren Blevins

I first knew Frank when we were on the School Safety Patrol at Fickett Junior High. Rich Gerber was our Chief. He had a great sense of humor. He was a good friend. Suzie and I were at the 45th Reunion and met him and his wife. I recall how Frank and Lynette definitely had the moves for the Twist down pat!! He will be missed. His wife and family will be in our prayers.
