"So sorry to hear of Franks passing and my condolences to his family. I though i would pass on something that happened many years ago while we were playing softball for Dupont. we were playing Kodak Park whose team was filled with great players just to play softball not to work for the Park.They were beating us 10 to 8 and it was the top of the 7th and we had the basses loaded with Big Frank coming to the plate. And for the first time ever in my time they walked him and walked in a run to avoid pitching to him. Thats RESPECT God Bless"

"I worked with Frank on the yard crew at DuPont and was impressed by his good nature and sense of humor. At break one day it was suggested that we get license plates with our initials on them. Frank laughed and wanted to know why he would ever do that as he was a bit heavy. Tremendous athlete and great guy to work with."
