Frank was married to my sister, Josephine. I have known him for almost as long as she has. He was a very loving and giving man.  We bonded over the most important thing of all - our shared love of Josephine. Being her sister, I’ve loved her longer than him, but he brought her true happiness. We lived through her terrible accident that almost took her from us. We shared worries over her recovery and rehabilitation. But most of all, we shared humor and affection. It’s hard to say goodbye, old friend... until we meet again.

Frank and I only ever met because of our wives. I’m fairly certain that his Jo and my Linda have been friends since about the same time rocks were invented, so it was inevitable that he and I would meet. Though separated by many miles, the two women have stayed close and whenever they can, they get together for a few hours, or in some cases a few days. And so, as faithful spouses Frank and I were more or less forced to become friends. For my part, that was never a problem. Frank’s playfully dark sense of humor was always accompanied by a distinct twinkle in his eye and I couldn’t help liking the man from the moment we met. Our conversations, lightly peppered with jokes at our wives expense, were always a hoot and l looked forward to seeing the two of them whenever we could arrange a get-together.  Over the years we had a chance to talk more than a few times and I came to know and respect Frank as a sincerely kind, generous and thoughtful man, who also had a shovel and an absolutely fantastic sense of humor. I remember that exceptionally good man. A smile on his face, a joke on his lips and a twinkle in his eye. Though his journey has taken him away from us for now, I know we’ll meet up again one day and we’ll be able to catch up and swap some really great stories. I look forward to that.

Many years ago, Frank told me the first time he laid eyes on Josephine, he knew she would be trouble. That was love at first sight and how he adored her. I'm so very sorry for your loss. You and Frank had a special bond which was beautiful to watch.  May your heart feel warm and a smile appear whenever you think of your loving Frank.

Frank was the brother to my biological father, Donald. I was able to meet him almost 9 years ago when he came to Tennessee. The memories of that visit are deeply etched on my heart. My condolences to his family.

To Josephine and Family,
I knew Frank for the past 10 years. I had the opportunity to visit with him and Josephine on an annual basis for work related issues. I always look forward to our annual visit. He was simply a fun person to be around. At our annual visits, we would spend a little bit of time talking business and then the rest of the time talking about the other important things in life, like cars, music, etc. He loved to talk about cars. He also loved Josephine very much. It was fun to watch Frank and Josephine's interaction. They much loved each other and Josephine did a wonderful job of loving and looking after Frank.  
I am a blessed man because I knew Frank. 
Sincerely, Clark Kendall
