I met Frank in January 1977 when I signed into A Co. 9th Avn Bn. We were both in the gun platoon flying Cobras. I went into maintenance and he was the Cobra instructor pilot. We flew many hours together and in 1980 we helped moved E Co 501st ABC to Germany. Had a great time there and he found Karen. And we know how that story goes. 41 years together. Frank and I left Germany and attended the Warrant Officer Senior Course together at Ft. Rucker and we both attended the Fixed Wing Course. We'd run across each other here and there. They even came to Gulf Shores, AL were a bunch of us old Vietnam pilots would gather camping each Oct. Frank and Karen came down in 2019 to see us all. We had a lot of good times and I will truly miss him. Sambo
Condolences to Karen, and the entire family. I appreciate the privilege of knowing Frank, Villy, and his beautiful family. I'm sure his soul will be resting in peace.
Frank is 1 of the purest heart person I've ever worked with, he never takes life for granted, he fought to the very end, I remember his wife (Karen), was visiting her grand kids, he wasn't doing well that morning so Karen decided to come home, his son David decided to visit the same day, Frank was told they're coming and Frank lay in bed, never close his eyes, each time when the sleep came he fight to keep his eyes open, when David came he was happy, he tried hard to communicate, when Karen reach and she said Bae I'm here, give him a kiss and said get some rest, Frank close his eyes right away and slept. I never had a bad day working with Frank as a CNA for almost 3 years, I looked forward for each day. He will always be remembered smiling.
