Frank and Fran I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Frank as such a sweet guy with the shy infectious smile. So many good memories growing up with him in church youth group. Mike and I send our love and prayers. Mia, Frank was blessed to have you in his life. I wish we could have spent more time together but we will always have our memories from the 1984 class of GBCS reunion weekend in Roanoke. Love and prayers, Mike and Michelle Diciuccio

We've known Frank since 1996, I met him while working with Mia. He was always a sweet man. My husband and him had a fun time snowmobiling a few years back, i'll never forget Frank coming back covered in snow! It was a fun filled weekend! I wish both of you our sympathy and hope you both are ok. Love, Bernie and Donna Dube

Frank and Fran, I am so sorry for the loss of Frank, he will be missed by myself and my family! He was loved by us all, I am so happy he was able to be with you all and felt the love of his family around him when he passed, it comforts me to know he wasn't alone. My hope is you all will find comfort in knowing one day we all will meet back up in glory and as of now he is rejoicing with Chris and no longer in pain and walking the streets of gold probably telling jokes with his brother! I am sure he was met at the gates by all who passed before him.
