Frank became my brother Stan's father-in-law on September 11, 1982, and ever since then I have considered him my father-in-law, too. He was so easy to love and just a great guy to be around. He was wonderful to talk to and just spend time with. My husband and I were always glad to see Frank and Freeda and looked forward to family gatherings and really enjoyed having them to our home. Frank will always be with us in our hearts. We shall miss him. Kris and Sonny Biauce
