Uncle Frank you will be missed greatly. Even though we are not related by blood but through a life long friendship with my father Tod Fabish.

Words can't describe how funny, kind and realistic Frank was when he was around us. Sometimes we laugh so hard about the stories about him and my dad my stomach hurt for days.

I recall in high school and later in life working with him on weekends or during the summer, we had some great laughs on those roofing, siding and gutter jobs.

I guess the most important lesson I learned from Frank was maintaining friendships, him and my dad were definitely a dynamic duo!

My condolences to Judy, his children, immediate family and close friends.

Kind regards,
Glenn Fabish

I will miss you Frank, you were a good and friendly next door neighbor to mike and I. I miss the days when yourself and my beloved husband Michael would take such beautiful care of our yards and gardens. I will miss the conversations we had outside about so many memories of our loving parents and grandparents, where our strong faith in Jesus Christ was planted years ago. I remember your sweetness you showed my mother, and the time you invited her over to see your lovely pond and fish. She enjoyed your company, my dear neighbor and friend. May Our Dear Lord hold you in the palm of His hand, Rest In Peace Frank.
