Sandra Lee and Kenneth Hayes left a message on May 1, 2021:
Frank was our friend, a very good friend that never asked any more of us than our friendship. We will miss his smile, his laugh and the sense of comfort we always felt around him. Our deepest sympathies go out to Denise, Melanie, Kathleen and Francesca. He was the most wonderful husband and father to them, their feeling of loss must be more than I can imagine. We will miss him.
