Uncle Frank was around us early in Me and Mike's life he watched after us and taught us to be tough! We lost touch with him when we moved to Kentucky. Caught back up when we went to visit Grandma in Idaho that great than 2mths later Grandma died and Mom and all us brothers came out to the funeral got to spend time with Frank. I always respected Frank he was one tough Dude? R.I.P.
