Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. I enjoyed working with Frank many years at Texaco Island. We had many conversations on growing vegetables. Frank was a fine man and he will be missed by family and friends. Lanny Brown##imported-begin##Lanny Brown##imported-end##

Frank was a fine man and good man to work with at Texaco. I will always remember him for his ability to make knives. I have one that he made and don't use it, just keep it for show.. May God bless Eva and all the survivors.##imported-begin##Maxie and Betty Neely##imported-end##

My condolences to the Hryhorchuck family. I worked with Frank many years ago at Texaco, and if my memory is correct, rode the shift truck to work with him. Frank always had a gentleman's smile, friendly nature and was a favorite of all who worked around##imported-begin##Ken and Christie Franklin##imported-end##
