Thank you to all of you for sharing your thoughts and prayers for my father. We will always remember him as a great man who was sharing and kind. Your kind words remind us of his gift for sharing and his thoughtful choice in friendships such as yours. Bless you.

During the almost two years of working with Frank at INX it was a pleasure to know him. He was a consummate individual with a sharp wit. On rare ocassions I was asked to be his lunch bridge partner, but I don't think I could live up to matching his skills. He was the master and teacher both. Following your retirement from INX in 1998 with some visits to the Technical Center your lack of presence has left a void in our work lives that can not be filled.

Condolences from a bridge-playing friend. I have many fond memories of Frank at the bridge table. I feel blessed having known Frank.
