Frank was a gentle loving man and he was one of my best (male) friends along with Betty, his wife…We spent a lot of time together and he used to introduce me to new people, as his “girlfriend” (in front of his wife, Betty) – We spent many great times at Shadow Mt. Park dance hall where Frank attended the bar there as a volunteer…Most people knew him as “Frank, the bartender” – I remember sooo well he and Betty dancing slow numbers and they were like two adoring “love birds”…He was a GREAT carpenter too…He made many wood objects for their front yard at Shadow Mt. – He was a true Italian and he dared anyone to talk badly about the “Italians”…My husband was Italian and the 2 men hit it off right away when we all met..I will truly miss Frank…He was this big “Teddy Bear” of a man..May you rest in peace now, Frank – – I love you, Shirley Roselle

What pleasant memories I have of Frank! Roger and I met Frank and Betty at their son’s housewarming…right next door. Thanks to them, we enjoyed many years at Shadow Mountain Village. Frank was fun, pleasant, and a dear friend.
