I am sorry to learn of Frank’s passing. I went to school with him, but have not seen him since that time. He was always a good person and I enjoyed going to school with Frank.

I met Frank years ago while visiting friends at countryside. Frank and I shared visits around the bird feeders and his tomato garden. He would help in the dining room and help his fellow residents with anything he could. Frank was a great man and I am sure will be missed but fond memories of him will last always.

Barb, Mary and family. I was sorry to read of Frank’s passing. I’ve missed being able to visit him & bring him Holy Eucharist. He sure helped me over the years with our services. I could always count on him. His concern & care for his fellow resident was great. Loved his sports enthusiasm & his stories. He’ll be missed. RIH Frank❤️

I would sit with Frank at the Tiffin Moose Lodge for hours. We would talk sports and he would munch on his snacks and drink pop. Many times we would be waiting for a big game to come on (OSU & Michigan) and his cell phone would ring and it would be AJ’s Pizza needing him to deliver pizzas as someone called in. And he would get up and go! No excuses, ever. Just a wonderful person. RIP my friend.
