We lived around the corner from your family, but by the time we moved there we believe you "kids" were already adults. We have fond memories of your parents walking by and talking to us. Frank was considered a saint by our mom who lived with us for Frank would always do her income taxes and circuit breaker forms every year. She would rave for weeks about how smart he was! We were hassseled by the village for six weeks over replacement fencing; it started with a trustee who hated us (political) but your dad managed to cut through the politics and get us the permits needed.
You've been blessed with such wonderful parents and we know you miss your mom terribly and now will miss your dad. But please note that others care, too. We hope you take comfort in knowing that so many people loved and respected your parents.
Sincerely,
The Kale Family

May our Brother rest in the peace of Christ. Frank was one of our most honorable Honorary Life members. He will be sorely missed.

My family, the Dolci's (Dugan, Elda, Jim, Bob, Carla Lynne, Elaine), lived next to you on Union St. in the 50's and I was saddened to hear from my sister-in-law of your father's passing. Please accept the condolences of our entire family. We'd love to hear from you.

On behalf of my Dad (Frank Bush), he asked me to convey his deepest condolences to the Ellement family.
"Frank was really a nice guy. He'll be missed. I remember that he also volunteered at the Riverdale Library doing the income tax. My wife and I would see him there. And, it was always a chuckle at the old KC house (or Queen's) for Frank to say Hi Frank and my response of course was to say Hi Frank." Frank Bush (formerly from Riverdale, now in Beverly).
