Frank was a rare man, a man who made a real difference in the world. I was fortunate to have been his friend since we were kids on the basketball court together. To say he overcame his adversity with strength and dignity would be a huge understatement. I learned so much about these things from him; his memory will continue to inspire me as long as I live! Thank you, Frank. My thoughts are with his wife, Mom, and everyone who loves him.
