Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. Unfortunately, I was out of town this past weekend and could not attend Frank's visitation or funeral.



I have been on Frank's Thursday night bowling team at the Village Club for the past three or four years and I will miss him. Even though his game has faded over the years (which was frustrating to him), he was always a great competetor and gentleman. He always had an interesting story to tell about years past -- life in Western Springs, activities at the Village Club, etc.



I can only hope to bowl, golf and travel as he did when I reach my eighties. It was great having him on our team, he'll be missed by all. We'll miss his chili too.



Fondly,

Steve Winegar
