I am so sorry to learn of Frankie's passing. This condolence is for all of Frankie's ( this how I knew during high school) family, but especially for , Monty. I never had the opportunity to meet you, but I wanted you know that your dad and I shared wonderful times playing guitar together. During high schoo he and I created a band and one play around the Orangeburg area. I share this with you because it was some of best years for me and I can tell you I believe your dad really enjoyed these times also. After high school we went our separate way. I did meet with your dad several year and we played a little in his home. I could tell he stilled loved to strum and pick the guitar.
I know you and other family members will miss Frankie and include me in that group. I will never forget him! May he rest in peace.
God bless,
Jim

We at the Oaks would like to send our condolences to each of Franks family and friends. We will miss him. He was a very fine man. We have come to love and appreciate Frank and each of his family. As the Chaplain, I would spend time with Frank once a week usually on a Monday. We had a good time together. He was an interesting man gifted with a love for music. We would talk about the guitar and the many people who inspired him as they would play together to bring joy to the lives of many people. He was a very interesting person to share with. I know he had a real love for you as his family. I was surprised to hear of his passing, but I know he is with the Lord he loved. Shalom......

This is a shock and a great loss for me. Frankie and I are first cousins and we spent many days and adventures together growing up. My mother was Frankie's father's sister. We talked for hours the last we saw each other about all our memories. My sympathies for the family, he loved you all as I clearly saw when he told me about you.

So very sorry to hear of Frankie's passing. He and my husband were friends since the days they were both employed at McCall-Thomas Eng. They were both draftsmen, and shared many similar interests. My husband passed in Dec. 2015. My sympathies to the family. Frank was a good man.
