  • Bonnie, so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. It has been a lot of years since I last saw him but easily remember a man with a twinkle in his eye, a great sense of humor and a passion for cars. I remember him doing the plumbing for our house on Lido Plage and great evenings at your house. Take care, Leslie - Posted by: Leslie Manness (Friend) on: Dec 04, 2015
