Dear Nancy and Family,

My condolences to you all on Franks passing. He was a wonderful husband, father, and friend to so many. He was a classmate of my Dad at Loyola, and often talked about their friendship. I admired and respected Frank and will keep him and your family in my prayers.

I am so sorry i was unable to attend the service for Mr. Considine. My father considered Mr. Considine a trsted confidant and friend. I hope to someday have a friendship with someone the way my dad had with Frank. My dad said, "they don't come any better than Frank."

Today, with great sadness I learned of Franks's passing. On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Considine family on your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Frank was a man who lived with a "Heart of Charity" as seen in the love he showered upon family and stranger alike. The kindness and grace he showed to those less fortunate is an inspiration to those whose lives he has touched. May you find comfort in knowing that Frank is now at peace.

Dear Considine Family - Mr. Considine was an amazing man and he was certainly blessed beyond measure to have such a great lifetime partner in Mrs. Considine. My folks have treasured your friendship for decades and I will always be eternally grateful for all the nice things Mr. Considine said about my Dad at his own funeral service in March '15. Couples like Mr. and Mrs. Considine have always been an inspiration to my wife and me on many levels, and I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry for your loss, we are thinking of you and I will be toasting Mr. Considine tonight to celebrate an incredibly well-lived life and the amazing legacy he has left behind in the form of all of you. Warm regards, Jeff Cozad

Frank had a smile and a word of friendship every time I saw him. Dale Carnegie would have been pleased with Frank. He helped the expansion of O'Hare and was a great civic citizen.
