I had the pleasurer of working with Frank on the RR. He was a lot of fun to be around
So sorry to hear of Franks passing. He was a great guy and no doubt will be dearly missed.
Aunt Gussie, the time and space of everyday life may have often kept our families apart and moving in different directions; but we’ve always been together in spirit and love. May God bless you with peace and comfort during this time. Just known that you guys have always, and will always be, in our loving thoughts and prayers until we’re together again!
Sorry to hear of your loss. He was a dedicated worker at Hamilton Heights and I was pleased to work with him
Frank was one of my all-time favorite people. He was the kindest person I know. He was never too busy to help when I needed him, and I never saw him angry over anything. He came to my classes and talked to my students about what it was like to live through the Depression so that they would understand the setting for To Kill a Mockingbird or Of Mice and Men. He always had time for you. His cheerful smile always made me feel good. We have lost a great one, but I look forward to catching up with him in heaven when I get there.
I had the privilege of working with Frank when he was a custodian at Hamilton Heights. He was a kind man and a hard worker. I enjoyed every minute we spent chatting. My condolences to all his friends and family.
Frank was one of the kindest person I have known. I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Loved the Frankie stories from my father (Bob Stapleton) from when they worked together. Heights community lost a great guy.
That smile in this picture is exactly how I saw him every day at Hamilton Heights High School. He was always ready to do ANY job, even a job he had no business doing. He loved the kids and the kids loved him. He always called me Mrs. Shields even though I called him Frank. He was a great man! We have missed him at school, but I know you will miss him terribly at home. God bless you and your family!
