To all Frank's loved ones,
It's hard to believe Frank has moved on. His love of life, humor, irreverence and thoughtfulness will remain with me always. He was a true individual, a presence all too uncommon in the business world. He put fun in our work together. My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.

I first met Frank years ago when he was with the Illinois Secretary of State under Mike Howlett. We would see each other over the years and I found him to be, what his obit said: "To know Frank was to love him."
My most sincere condolences to family and friends. I deeply mourn his loss.

Though I worked with Frank almost too many years ago to remember, he is not one to be forgotten. He was always ready with a line, an aside, that killer smile, the sense of wonder that never ceased. My sympathies to his family and loved ones.
