Sorry to see that Frank passed away. Always enjoy his presence when we lived nearby in the Dellwood subdivision. Hope for the best for his family.
I’m going to miss Uncle Frank. He was a constant figure in my life since I was born. He was always there for the family and willing to help and lend his expertise. He helped a lot of local people when he had Frank’s Hardware and also as an officer in the Castle Rock Lion’s Club. He loved to golf and beat me on more than one occasion. It’s going to be a hard time passing his house and not being able to stop in and say hi. He will truly be missed.
Our condolences. It was always so nice to see Frank at Saint Joseph Church. God Bless. The David family
