Marylou and family:
I am so very sorry to hear about Frank’s passing, In the short time that we knew each other, we became good friends and I realized very quickly what an amazing person Frank was and truly a great friend, husband, father and grandfather. He was so kind and considerate and during the long drives that we took both in the Hamptons and in Toronto we shared so many stories about our lives and we laughed alot. His passing has definately left a void in my heart and in many hearts I’m sure.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you,
With my deepest sympathy
