My condolences to the family of Mr Frank. I had many nice conversations over the years with Mr Frank while picking up my girls from school. He always made sure we crossed that intersection safely. One of the nicest kindest humans I've ever met. He knew my girls by name and looked after them. We will miss you Mr Frank. Rest in eternal peace. Brandie Pacula
