Farewell to a fine gentleman, my Uncle Frank. I will not forget: How he made our family times memorable with his special 'Frank' words and phrases, by his particular way of saying them; we can still hear him and smile. How he taught me to swim, tough-love style, at Island Lake. How he 'walloped' me in ping-pong and crib. How he walked me down the aisle when my Dad was just gone. How he watched over his disabled sister, my Mom, for decades; he was the apple of her eye. How he charmed us all with the glint in his eye and his quick laugh. Thank you, Frank, for all you gave us, and especially for your service to our country. I will miss speaking to you on November 11, but I will not forget. My sympathy goes out to Cath and Anne as well as to Frank's devoted grandson Rob. Je me souviens Dr Sue Rodgers Ottawa, ON.

Cathy & Family, I am very sorry to hear that you have lost your dad. Losing a loving parent is very difficult and sad. Parents do so much for us. I hope that fond memories of your dad will bring a smile to your face often. Thinking of you in California. Your friend Rob Overman

Goodbye, dear Uncle Frank--the last of your generation in our family. I smile when I think of your mischievous humour, your devotion to my ailing mother, your love of the Legion, and your passion for golf and 'them Tigers.' Love to Cath and Earl, Rob and family, and Shirley and family. (niece) Jane Rodgers
