today would be my brother Frank's 78 birthday...rest in peace, brother...from LLoyd Lovato

What a beautiful photo and tribute to John Frank. I am looking for relatives of my ancestry. Particularly that of John Joseph Lovato, who served in the US Army in WW2, and in 1944 was stationed in Warren Point, Northern Island. 

So sad to hear about Frankie. Really got to know him when we played fastputch softball for Larry' 66. Great times  great man and always humble. RIP Frankie.  Also grew up in the neighborhood when we would play baseball on the field Mac made for us behind their house.  

Sorry to hear about Frank. I loved him very much. My condolences to all of you. My prayers goes to the Lovato’s family.

Prayers and condolences for your loss. Frank was always kind and good to me. He was a great friend to my older brothers. We talked a few times about our military time. Mine was much less dangerous than his and he was a hero to me for his brave service. God has a true warrior guarding heaven. God Bless you all. 

Hello Marie and family. I am deeply saddened by the  passing of your wonderful husband and companion, Frank.  It has been too long since I have  communicated with Frankie. What a great classmate, teammate and most important a true friend over the years. His heroism and valor as a Marine, in the  Vietnam 🇻🇳 war  truely set him apart as true patriot and comrade. 
I will always cherish the high school memories of playing football at Lyman with my halfback, Frankie. He caught passes and scored touchdown as a tough teammate.  On defense we were the hitters on opponent carrying the ball. We had so much fun busting anyone who dared trespass on our goal. 
We ran track together, and shared the baton on relay teams. Many hours we spent on the Lyman track perfecting our team effort. We were buds throughout the 13 years of grade school thru graduation.  And we drank a lot of beer at Packers Lake with guys from Lyman. 
 I will always remember our Senior sneak weekend in Denver with our classmates.  As 18 year old punk kids we qualified to drink cheap 3.2 beer in the bars in downtown Denver. We thought we were so cool.  On the way home from Denver  in a school bus, late at night we shared making out with some of girls.  
Frank's Dad, Lloyd was the janitor at the high school, so we had to keep the place clean and not make messes.  
Since our houses were only a few doors away, we snuck out in the evenings to drive to Scottsbluff to see if we could pick up some  ladies. Neither one of us knew what to do when we met some chick's,  so we tried to act cool and mature.  Jim Renteria would borrow his brother beautiful car and Frank would go with us to Cheyenne to cruise the big city, buy cheap beer and talk to the ladies.  We thought we were hot stuff with a fancy car, three good looking guys and of age to buy liquor.  
But we made it thru High School  and Frank went of to war.  His stories about the fire fights with the Viet Cong  would last into the early morning as we drank beer.

Frank and I were friends since H.S. I will miss him so much. We used to talk monthly but I hadn't talked to him since Thanksgiving.  He was a great friend and will be missed. Love you Frank!

So sorry to hear this news. I worked with Frank at the Longmont PO, he was a great guy, hard worker and always willing to help anyone out. Everyone liked Frank. All our thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Deepest sympathy to Frank's family.  I knew Frank many years from working together at at the post office and delivering his mail to his home. We both served in the Marine Corps serving at the same time in Viet Nam.  He never complained and he had a good word for everybody he met.  If Frank was at home, we shared many conversations when I delivered his mail. Everyone at the post office had nothing but good things to say about Frank.  He will be missed by everyone he worked with and those who knew him.  Smitty
