I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Frank at A&P what seems like many many years ago. Frank was a good man. I remember when we had to restock the whole store after hours....Frank would be down one aisle by himself and just burst out singing...before long we were all singing...I will never forget that big smile he always seemed to have...My prayers are with all of you...May God bless your family in this time of sorrow.
