I have many happy memories of Frank, whom I used to see all the time at the State Capitol when I was a news cameraman in Madison in the 1970's. We would always take the time to talk and enjoy one another's company. His friends and family members can be very proud of his memory.

Frank was an expert at picking songs out for me to sing with Clyde that were perfect! Still sing, "Real Sad Story" and so many of them today. He just knew what would work for the musicians he cared about. When I think of Frank I think of happy times sharing the Motown Players years and all the music we loved to be surrounded with. Our sympathies to his family. We will see you on the 20th. Marcy and Ken

Frank was on my Meals On Wheels route, and I was honored to bring him meals over the last four years. My favorite memory of Frank was when he made a book about his life. He was so proud of it. For 3 weeks in a row, he would have me sit down and go over it page by page with him. I was amazed at the full and fascinating life that he led! He was a gracious man.
