To the Frank Grandinetti family,

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your loving son. While I only knew Frank Jr. for a few years (at the MWRDGC), he impressed me by his wit, his sincerity and his artistic talent. I was always in awe of his fantastic drawing ability!

I know that my beloved Thomas, who was his first boss at our place of work, felt he was a "very nice kid" and that he had limitless potential. In addition, Frank's help was quite welcome. Frank was so kind to me when my Tom passed away a few years ago. His sensitivity was appreciated.

Much love and many prayers in Frank Jr.'s memory. May God bless you all.
