Frank grew up in California as a freckle faced boy who played sports and had a paper route. He married his childhood sweetheart (my mom) right out of high school. Then, Dad was an airplane mechanic in the Air Force and carried wounded and fallen soldiers in airplanes during the Vietnam war. He saw things he could never forget and it made an impact on his life. He and my mom divorced when I was very young. I didn't get to see him as much as I would have liked growing up, but he kept in contact phone calls and visits. Dad ran a successful business in San Diego and volunteered countless hours as a counselor to those who couldn't afford one. He was active in his church and charitable organizations. He taught me to work hard and be respectful, to love and honor God. He was an excellent grandpa to my daughter S who delighted in his phone calls, visits, and cards sent through the mail. His hobbies were civil war memorabilla, classic cars, and golf. Unfortunately he inherited a bad heart from his father who died of a heart attack when Dad was 16. And that's what took my beloved Pop at the young age of 68. I will never forget you, Dad. You will be forever in my heart. You always ended each call with "I love you honey." How I wish I would have known that was our last conversation. I know you are cruising around heaven in a brand new Shelby Cobra cranking up the Beach Boys.
