My heart is so heavy with sadness and loss at the sudden passing of my beloved Papa Frank. Papa may not have been related to me by blood but he always told me I was one of his kids and I could not have loved him any differently. He was such an inspiration to so many and a friend to all who knew him. He was a jack of all trades and always willing to lend a hand and help anyone out when he could. There was little he could not fix or do. Thank you Papa for welcoming me into your heart so long ago and always being there for me over these last nine years. For always being willing to take care of Natasha when I was in the hospital or out on one journey or the other. >^,,^< she loved you so much! The hole in my heart at your loss is immense but I will do my best to fill it full of all the wonderful memories of you that I will cherish forever. My only solace is you are now in Heaven with Mary Lou. Rest in peace Papa, I love you.

Frank was my neighbor and good friend! He would come over to my garage and sit and visit with me! He was always the one to offer help or to borrow me a tool if I needed it! He liked to talk about the early years of trucking and operating machinery. My deepest sympathy to his family and his special friend Linda! Rick and Kathy Skinner

I have no words to express the way I feel as a result of the loss of this wonderful man from my life. A man of huge character, strong as a bear, sharp as a hawk, and gentle as a lamb. He loved his family and was always there for you. He loved animals. He loved the earth and all she has to offer — loved to go driving out in the hills away from all the hub-bub of town. He was so looking forward to a few camping trips, but now that will not happen. Such a kind, caring, giving individual – I have been so blessed to have had him in my life. Now the memories will help me move forward alone. May his pastures be greener and may he have much peace in his heart.

To say that Frank was a man that really took incredible care of my mother would be an understatement. Frank and my first year or so was little trying but me being a teenager was pretty much the cause of it and after I realized how well he treated my mother and that he only wanted everyone to be happy we came together. I was so happy they were together for about 35 years! They really took great care of each other!
Stacy had many great things to say about Papa and I may be repeating a few but they need mentioned again. Stacy said he was a jack of all trades and really could fix anything, another understatement. From model T’s, cars, trucks, heavy equipment, basically anything mechanical, electrician, welder, fabricator, builder, Chef, you name it and Frank could fix it, run it, build it and flat make it happen!
He not only helped his family but anyone that needed a hand. Day or night, he was there. He saved my butt on more than one occasion.
I was very happy he and Linda Addington found each other. He grieved over our mothers passing and then said it’s time to get back out and enjoy the years I have left and he did it. It was great to see him smile and laugh again.
Linda took Frank and made him that very happy person he was again. Thank you Linda.
He never complained no matter how he felt and always had a great positive attitude. Through Fighting and beating lung cancer he never lost his positive attitude. Most people would never guess he was his age and I constantly forgot since he went 100mph every day.
My only regret was not taking the time to spend with them I should have. We all seem to get caught up in our own life’s and taking on more than We/I ever should have.
There were so many things he taught others and I didn’t spend that time to absorb more of the knowledge he had compiled over his 84 years on this planet!!
If anyone reading this learns or remembers only one thing it’s to spend all the time with your loved ones you can since you never know when they will be gone. I read a saying on an old piece of barn wood in the Juneau airport this week that said…
“Some people are so poor, all they have is money”
He will be sadly missed but I can go to bed at night knowing he is in Heaven with our mother and other loved ones and I would be willing to bet he is keeping busy either tightening loose screws or welding a crack on the pearly gates or taking the squeak out of them with some special lubricant he made.
I love you Papa…

I only knew Frank through Lynda Addington … She keeps her horse at our place and Frank came out weekly with Lynda to see the horse. It was so fun to see Frank’s pure delight in being around the animals; and also very, very special to me to see the bond of love and friendship between Lynda and Frank. He was a friendly, generous, likable guy and I feel privileged to have known him. — Rachel Haberman
