Frank's favorite poem (which he recited many times) was The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert Service. In remembrance of Frank, perhaps take a read… while listening to bagpipes… and enjoying a fine Scotch on the rocks. Frank will be interred at the Southern Maine Memorial Veteran's Cemetery in Springvale, Maine at a later date. Those wishing to do so are asked to consider a donation in memory of Frank to VNA Home Health Hospice Foundation, PO Box 931, Bangor, ME 04402.
