My deepest condolences to Frank's family and close friends. I only knew Frank from my many visits to Wrigley Field, but always looked forward to getting to the ballpark to see how he was doing and talk for a bit. What a humble and genuine person he was! Very distraught to learn the news of Frank's passing when I came to the park the other night - Cubs games will not be the same for me! Mike LaPapa - it was always obvious to me how strongly you felt about Frank when I saw the two of you - you were a great friend to him. Savor your memories of this wonderful person.

Please allow me to extend my sincerest condolences for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with you until the time comes when "He will swallow up death forever." (Isaiah chapter 25 verse 8)

Frank,
You were a good guy and I loved talking sports with you and listening to my picks.
You were an old school guy.
I remember the hours we used to talk behind 3rd base at Wrigley and the Outfield behind Cominskey Park.
I cant believe your gone but your spirit lives on.
God Bless you and your family.

Pugi, you were one of a kind. I can't believe you're gone. I'll miss talking sports and music with you for hours on end and laughing at your jokes. You were always family and I know heaven is a funnier place because you're there. Say hi to my sister, we miss you down here.

Pugi's interpretation of life was spot on. No one could boil things down the way he could. I quote him all the time and I am sick he's gone.
