Hope Frank is in Heaven, The Pure Land or peaceful nothingness, whatever applies in the after-life. And, especially no more "ugly" plans!

Frank was a long-time, loyal, and generous friend of mine. If I needed to, I could have called on him at any time for help. He was always there. I worked at the C&C, so I knew him there too.
