Frank was a dear friend with whom I shared many hunting and fishing trips. Frank exhibited a robust love of life and spoke often of his experiences in private life and in his career with the telephone company in New Jersey and Colorado Springs. He openly shared his faith beliefs and love of God. I will be forever thankful that he was part of my life. I will miss him and hold his memory close within my heart.
