"To the family, I am with great sadness of the lost of Frank, we work together at ARC Marion for 20 plus years together. Frank was someone I would call my hero, he taught me ACT aggression control techniques, I remember when we had several stoms he would come with Lil Frankie to check on once it was no flashlights he went and got them, once it was no food power was out he went & got food. Frank you was always our Hero. One day it was a problem one of the guys said call Frank you know he got us. I could always count on you. Prayers for the family. Shenela W. Still "
