A great tribute to a fine man . So glad Frank has been a member of our family. His stories will be missed . That big one is just waiting to be caught !
Love you and will miss you, Frank…big brother to all of his sister Claire’s friends. So many happy memories with the Bryan family. My favorite conversations were with Frank and my sister about the their love of the Lord. I know he is happy with his parents, Lucille and his best friend in God’s arms
We loved Frank like he was a part of our family. We were next door neighbors for over 30 years. He was the nicest man and best friend anyone could ever know. He watched all three of our kids grow up and was like an uncle to them. He was also a second daddy to our little dog Cami. His house was her house and she loved to spend time with him. We will miss him very much and even though my heart is still hurting, we know Frank is in a better place with his wife Lucille, friends, and family that have gone before him.
Our thoughts and prayers for Frank and the Bryan family. With fond memories growing up with the Bryan family. We send our love
We only had 7 years of having the honor of being Frank’s neighbor, but we enjoyed those 7 years, and respected him a great deal. His love for his wife Lucille and the fact that he missed her so very much was so evident. Sending comfort and condolences for all those who who will be missing Frank, and for Frank, Godspeed, sir, and may peace and light be yours.
I will always cherish fond memories of Frank growing up. It was so nice to see him again after I moved back to St. Louis. What a blessing that the Bryan family has been a part of our family for all these years. Claire, Steve, Barb and Mike — Please know that you are in my thoughts and always in my heart. I’m sure Frank is up there fishing with John. He has definitely added to heaven’s joy. Love you.
