Sorry to hear about Frank’s passing. I worked as the State Inspector for blacktop while he was in Sheffield for Lane Corp.
I remember a lot of colorful stories he told.

I was saddened to hear of Frank's passing. We played a lot of music over the years, and had lots of fun and laughs at picnics, cook-outs, etc. My sincerest condolences to his family. He was one of a kind.
