Another very nice uncle. The last time I saw Frank was at my Dad's funeral and he looked like a million bucks. I imagine he was still fitting in a full life. The prayers and thoughts of my family are with all my cousins and Aunt Jenita.

We moved to Dolton, IL in 1960, and got to meet the Franck Punchard family; a very good hard working family and nice neighbors. Our sympathy to Franks family.

Dad, I love you and will miss you terribly. I'm so glad you are finally resting because you were the hardest working guy your whole life that I know. I'll miss those beautiful blue eyes but when I look at my daughter I will see them again. XXOO Pammy
