I've known Frank for a long time. We had several, pricey transactions that all went smoothly. Frank was a man of his word, an astute businessman and a first class gentleman. I always enjoyed his openness in discussing the business of the hobby. He was easy to talk with and he never said anything bad about anyone.
We shared the experience of cancer and discussed how we each dealt with it. He was very brave. I will miss him a lot and offer my prayers for his family who will miss him more. -Ken Rubin

Our deepest sympathy to Lillie, Frank Jr., Renee and the entire family. I cherish the days from when I worked for Mr. Z. I sat with him often and listened to his wisdom. I learned a lot about business from Mr. Z. His warm heart, witty humor, and love for his family will always be what I remember most about Mr. Z.

You'll be missed Frank. I'll never forget some 25 years ago at an Arrington auction, you outbid me on a nice jukebox. I didn't know you then, but when I asked someone they said, "Don't worry, you were beaten by Frank Zygmunt and it'll probably happen again in your lifetime". That was our introduction and the start of an enjoyable friendship. You were a strong trooper to the end.

I need to offer borrowed words: "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward." And live it you did, Frank, with a zeal and a knack for seizing the moment that put into one life the substance of several. Thanks for having been here--and for having been you.

Even though we knew this day was coming, when it did, the sadness is still profound. Frank was a true gentleman. His word was golden. The entire coin-op community mourns his loss, and I will miss our conversations and his wise counsel. My deepest condolences to Frank Jr., your mom and the rest of Frank's family. We will not see his like again. He will be missed by many, and certainly by me. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Lillie, Frank Jr, Renee and the entire family. In life one can be lucky to count true friends on one hand, Frank was one of those friends to me for 30 yrs.. He was the brother I never had...I could go on and on about Frank's greatness but to sum it up in military terms.....If I was in a foxhole I'd want to have Frank at my side.
Thanks for everything you taught me!

My thoughts are with you.
