Very sad that I never heard he passed Frank was a great guy and I’d go see him in the MeterShop at two rivers and talk with him he was always a nice guy. May he rest in peace and God Bless his soul

To my cousin Frank, you were such a kind and loving man, so easy going, the thing that I remember the most is he had the cleanest cars around, they were so clean, you could eat off of them, he took pride in his vehicles, you will be missed Frank.
Love

My Heart was sad when Nancy called and told me about my friend Franks Passing..He truly was a good man...Didn't Drink ...Didn't Smoke...How he could ever get Cancer I don't understand...I Miss the many many hours down at Premier Auto Sales Talking, Usually about the Old Cars we once had...I think you sold me as many cars as i sold you ..LOL... FUN TIMES I'll never forget ..When you brought in a list of how many cars you had owned , like 247 if I remember right ..then we remembered a few more that you had forgotten..So Many Stories, So Many Stories I could tell.I am Proud to call you a Friend and you were a good one.I WANT SO BAD TO BE AT THE FUNERAL BUT MY HEALTH TROUBLES WONT ALLOW ME TO ATTEND... But You Can Be Rest Assured I'll Be There In Spirit....I'll Miss you Frank...RIP
