Frank. I´m sad that you left this world so soon. You will be missed. I loved working with you on the Board of French Royale The place will not be

Bobby, I just heard about your dad and wanted to let you and the family know how sorry we are. Your dad was my uncle just like you were my brother when we were growing up on Arbor Ave. I have so many memories of your dad and us over the years and right now I´m sitting in his house on NW blvd where he was born reliving many of them and can actually feel his presence. Once again I´m really sorry for your loss. Stay strong.

I met Frank two years ago playing 9 hole golf on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Frank not only was a great golfer but also a very patient and supporter of my golf that needed much improvement.
I am shocked and in disbelieve losing a wonderful friend and golf club member. It was a great honor for me of having met Frank and I will miss him dearly. Willi Schmelzer

Thinking of you as you are on a new journey to heaven and by now you probably have been with my sister Esther( kiss her for me) and your parents and brother. We shared many memories together both good and not so good but memories live on. Praying for you and for those you left behind.
