I met Frank in early 2000 when I was homeless. I would stop by to eat and check my mail. Frank was much more than a volunteer. He was a kind soul with a huge heart. He asked if I could help him with the mail. That little bit of kindness was huge for me at the time. We became friends and I became a fellow St. Louis Cardinal fan. I move back to my home town in Iowa in 2004 and got my life back in order. I would always send Frank mementos that I picked up at Busch Stadium. I waited in line for over 3 hours at a local minor league team stadium so I could get a replica world series to send to frank. He was wearing it when I went to Colorado in May to visit my family and Frank. I posted a photo of Frank & I having lunch. I will forever miss him and thank God for having him in my life.

You were such a joy to work with. You'll be missed, not only at Catholic Charities, but the world will miss your smile.

As a Marian House Soup Kitchen volunteer veteran of twenty-two years, I came to know Frank well. He always appreciated the Marian House volunteers, had a warm smile and firm handshake whenever you greeted him. He will be sorely missed. I can now even hear the Lord say to His humble servant, Frank, "well done, good and faithful servant. I was hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was homeless and you gave me shelter, and I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Vaya con Dios, Frank!
