I am saddened by the loss of of a good man. I had the great opportunity to work with Frank for many years in his capacity of Programming, and later as an Analyst. I appreciated his kindness, his generosity, his gentle manner and his cute humour. He was such a smart guy. Recently, my good friend Sue Zelickson and I connected in Toronto, and we shared stories of the good old days..Frank's name came up many times. To us, he will forever be our expert "NET & ROE" man! Frank was a great influence to many (& me) & he made such a positive impact to our world; he'll never be forgotten. My condolences to Frank's family for your loss. Rox

Uncles have a special role. Not being our father, they can be a friend and a supporter in a different way than anyone else in our lives. They are both a relative and a companion; one of the few people able to be both. Whether they are crazy and weird and only seen at holidays. The loss of an uncle is a particularly hard one. Their loss, however, is filled with the years of happy memories we had, and that special connection that belongs only to uncles. R.I.P. Uncle Babe. Please continue to watch over all your children and grandchildren.

I had the honor of serving on the Lenape Hoops Board for several years with Frank. He was a kind man and was always looking out for the best interest of the hundreds of players in that league. He gave so many hours of his time to support that program and I have know he also gave his time to the Lenape Blazers softball program. I am saddened by his passing and honored that I had the opportunity to know Frank. He will be missed.

To Tara and Connie, May your hearts, though painfully broken now, come to be at peace soon. Be soothed by the knowledge that your deep love for Daddy, has been received by him. My dear cousin, Babe, has beautifully, and, definitively, expressed this same deep love, back to you Tara, his first-born and to you, Connie, his 19 year old bride, almost 50 years ago ...
It's been a long, complicated journey for Babe. I have been so very impressed by the number of people he has loved along the way. They love him still, and they cared tenderly for him, while he battled cancer bravely.
I am sure, they all wish him a loving farewell.

Frank was a good friend and fellow co-worker. He was one of first developers that I had the pleasure of working with at ADP. In addition Frank was a big part of the successful ADP Men's Softball league.
RIP my friend. You will be missed.
My sincerest sympathies go out to the entire family.

The last time I saw Uncle Babe was at Stephens wedding, boy was he in great spirits.
That was only eight months ago. He looked great and seemed very happy. I guess we never know what's going on inside our bodies.
He really did beat to his own drums...
I know Grandma and Grandpa will welcome him with open arms. God bless and love you.
