Boy do I miss this guy! I always considered him one of my best friends. He was as always there to cheer me on. I will never forget the night he called me over to watch the bears at Camp Alexander! He made me a special necklace which I treasure every day.

I had the greatest respect for Frank. His always seemed to be the voice of reason, never superior, just wise counsel. Woodbadge and OA just won't be the same.

Dearest Marti,
My heart is broken for you and your family.
Very few people you encounter during your life journey leave a solid footprint on your heart, but Frank left one on mine.
I loved his ability to cut through the bull and tell it like it was. I loved his qick wit and sarcastic humor when the situation called for it. I loved the fact that he was a down to earth good man!
I love you Martha!
Kelly, Barbara Hook said to give you a special hug from her.

Frank was a mentor to me at the PPC Wood Badge Courses. His Scouting knowledge will be greatly missed. "May you be with the Great Scoutmaster of all Scouts until we meet again"
