I was so very sorry to hear of Frank’s death. The last time we had lunch and he told me he was moving to FL I told him that it may be our last meal together. He was a wonderful friend and I miss him, his wit and his sense of humor. Bill
my sympathies to the family. I was a business neighbor to Frank in the Broadway Center for 29 years as Designer Kitchens & Baths. We had lots of great times together, especially playing golf. He taught me a lot about the fine points of the game, and was an awesome friend.
Altho I never met Frank, he was a great pal of my dear friend Albert Mermelstein who we lost also this year. However, I feel I know him well because my niece Dala Dunn and I are blessed to have our business, Soul Sentiments, in his wonderful little building at the Millersburg exit. It is perfect space for us and we enjoy some of his furnishings we were able to acquire. Rest in Peace, Music Man….You were a blessing to our community.
