    Condolences to Frank and family. We were good friends since Elementary School days and Sunday school days at the Christ Church Parish Church. When ever Frank was around, it was always a great time for laughter. He eventually dated a great friend of mine Margaret. We all admired and loved and respected each other back then with great devotion. Harry my wonderful forever friend told me about his passing. I was devastated but smiled when remembering our jovial times. Condolences to the family. Rest in Peace my friend, until we meet again

    I wish to convey my deepest sympathy to Frank’s immediate, extended family and friends. This is not only my condolence but a tribute to Frank. Though he was my senior, our families grew up with a close bond and kindred. Frank spent many hours at our home. Those hours were full of laughter, as Frank was always jovial and full of excitement. He always had stories to tell and share. Frank was showy and always dressed immaculately to supplement his personality. He was gregarious and always surrounded by many of his trusted friends, who didn’t lack for entertainment . Frank sang in the Christ Church parish church choir. He had a trained voice and in the house, we were often treated to his descant and personal rendition. Frank always joked about blowing off the roof of the church with his lusty singing. He was proud of that and certainly a joy to hear. May Frank rest in peace.
