Frank was such a wonderful man and always made me laugh. So very sorry for you loss! R.I.P Frank! Jo (Ex-Four Season’s receptionist)
My deepest condolences to the family on the loss of your father. I had the great pleasure of meeting Frank when I first moved to Four Seasons. Frank knew that I was new and would go out of his way to make me feel welcome. He shared his life story and I found him so very interesting to talk to. I pray that your memories will comfort you during this time.
To Karen and all the family: I am so sorry for your loss! My own dad was also in the Navy in WW II. What a remarkable generation that was — to be treasured in memory with love and pride. Sending warm hugs and sincere sympathy to you all. Love, Stephanie

To the family of Frank: I helped Frank with his patio garden in the last 5 years and got to know him as a very delightful man. He always loved whatever I chose for him. I now give to him a “bright and beautiful garden”one more time.
