Condolences to the family. It was a shock to see my old partner altar boy at Sacred Heart Church (class of 1949); best grammer school friend and Leo High School classmate (class of 1953) in the obits.

Dear Ms. Monahan and Family:



I would like to express my condolences to you and your family.

Frank and I worked together for many years. He will truly be missed by me and the whole office. He was a joy to have around.



It was nice to meet you, wished it could have been under difference conditions.

We are so sorry to hear of Frank's passing away. He was a gentle, sweet and funny man and we enjoyed working with him over the years. We especially will never forget or fail to smile any time we remeber him and his special renditions of "Ugly Child". We know he will be missed - our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Shocked to hear of Frank's passing. I spoke to him recently and was glad to hear he was so happy with his new employment. Frank was a guy everyone loved.

Pat and family - I am really sorry to hear about Frank. Len Perkins called me to let me know. I will be out of town and unable to attend the wake. He was a great guy and friend and will be truly missed by many. We had a lot of laughs together back in the "days".
