Audrey and Family,
I was sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He was a good and true friend while we were in high school and during my college years.
Although we drifted apart after I moved from Hudson Falls and started my own family, we ran into each other once in a while on my visits to the north country. He will be remembered for his friendship.
May the Lord’s peace be with him and your Family.
