Frank was a great friend and classmate. I'll never forget our times together at Eastern AZ College in Thatcher after graduating from Sabino in '75. Anyone remember when he returned a kick off in the minute of our football game against Saguaro HS? Amazing. He was fastest big man I ever knew; even watched him beat Mark Gastineau in a foot race at Eastern Az...Frank also made sure I got to a hospital after I injured myself with a tool from our zoology kits at EA. he deeply loved his wife, children and family. RIP Frank you were a great friend and someone I always looked up too.
