Frank you were a great kind man. truly from the heart you inspired me. as your care provider I learned a lot. you were always patient and endearing. Suffer no more buddy. God bless

Frank, you were a great genuinely kind man. I had the pleasure of sharing my life with you for 2 years as  your care provider. You told me stories of yesteryear.  When San Diego was just starting to grow. Your personal stories of being part of WW2 . You had my admiration and respect. Hope we cross paths again one day. Suffer no more buddy. I know you're with your loved ones. God bless.

Frank was a dear friend of my mother,Minnie , and a kind loving person to me and my boys, Ravi and Anil. We swam at his home in Bham and have many fun memories  when  we visited him in San Diego. Frank was a man of  integrity, commitment , and love. His care for his nieces and nephews was a reflection of that. I will always hold a place in my heart of respect for him.  I feel so blessed for knowing him.

Good bye Uncle Frank. I miss you so much already. It's surreal to not be able to pick up the phone and hear you voice. Your passing has hit worse than I thought it would. I will be sitting alone with my thoughts and think of funny moments like the time that you were serving Grandma mashed potatoes and when she had enough she said plenty. You thought she wanted more. She said plenty again and you served her more. Grandmas voice raised and she said PLENTY! PLENTY! you yelled back. I'M SERVING AS FAST AS I CAN! Grandma said no I mean enough. God we all laughed so hard that tears came to our eyes. Then there was the time that you Grandma and Grandpa were in Balboa park and you and grandma wanted to see the movie the Odd Couple. You asked Grandpa if he wanted to go see the odd couple? Grandpa being hard of hearing didn't hear the whole conversation and replied. What do you wanna see All and Loretta for. Grandma and you laughed so hard that you almost fell over. Just thinking of little stories like those stories. I will never forget.

My Uncle Frank. A man that sacrificed and gave so much of himself and asked for little in return. a very intelligent man and a man that not only loved me, but all four of us as if we were his own children. All that I am as a man is due to his love and patience. When I stumbled he would pick me up brush me off and point me in the right direction. I have so many great memories of our personal relationship the dinners around the dining room table, the little trips in the car and just the good old fun that we had as a family will warm my heart until it is my time. The only person that I ever wanted to make proud of me was my Uncle my "POP". I will never forget you and will always feel your love. We were all family. we had good times and not so good times, but no matter what times we had we were family. Something someone looking in would not realize. The love that I had for my Uncle Frank goes deep. all the way back to before I could speak. When I was a boy my nick name was pal to him all the way to as recently as a week before he departed us was "Pal".   So to You uncle Frank, rest in peace. I will see you and the rest of the family soon enough. Good bye "Pal". I Love you for all eternity,

Anyone that knew Frank, knew that he was a loving, kind, gentle man with a wonderful sense of humor. Anyone who knew Frank even better also knew that Frank was much more than that. Frank was very smart, giving, a wonderful soul, an absolute caregiver, a teacher and someone we were all happy to have had the chance to know. Frank was my uncle, he raised me as if I was his child. We danced, we sang,we laughed, and at times we cried. I am a lucky woman to have those memories in my heart. I will hold my uncle there until it's time for me to leave this place too. He will never be forgotten by anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him.
Uncle Frank, from me to you, thank you! I love you more than my words could ever write or speak. You are with me always! I love you "Unk"

To the best man who raised me, and made me the adult I am. Uncle Frank I will miss you, and thank you for all you have done. I will  miss you forever. Love your niece Wanda Clark.
