Bob, Mary Ellen, Bobbie, and family,
Becky and I will be unable to attend the scheduled service on Tuesday due to a prior engagement. I believe your father would understand our absence since, as a fellow Lafayette graduate, he would appreciate this chance for me to have dinner with my "little brother" in our fraternity whom I haven't seen in 47 years. Another fraternity brother will be joining us.
Frank was one of the nicest people I have ever met. In a word, he was a Good man. He was a gentleman and a helluva bridge player. I think I may have even had the pleasure one time to have shared a round of golf with him, but Bob, you would remember that better than I. I will never forget you telling me that he had "shot his age" in golf, meaning that he probably scored an 85 at that age, something I'm striving for!
I am very grateful to have met not only his acquaintance, but to have considered him a friend, as I do you, Bob...one of my closest.
What a wonderful life he led and an example he set for us all. May he rest in eternal peace. Our sympathies to you and all his family.
