I have known Frank and Rita for many years. They had a connection with St. Mary Magdalene parish in the past and Frank had been coming to a weekday Mass for quite a long time until his illness last year. We miss him and the visit we would have those days. A very devout Catholic and kind man. Rita and my husband Gene were schoolmates in high school. RIP Frank, you are now in God's loving arms.

We are sorry to hear about your father’s/Grandfather’s death. He was a very faithful filled man and loved his family so much. We all have a strong prayer warrior in heaven along with Diane, Geralyn and Rita. I am sure that st Padre Pio was there to greet him.

Rex and family, I wanted to express condolences for myself and on behalf of my father, Thomas Maurer. We were not able to make the service for your father. Your father was a kind man and the definition of "a gentleman". He and your mother were always so kind to my parents and myself, when ever we would see them. I hope you are able to keep the warm and living memories of them in your hearts.

Frank built our house on Hoover Reservoir in 1988 when our three daughters were little. From the first day of contact with Frank he was a wonderful gentleman and amazing contractor. He spared us any problems so that we can say that the whole process was enjoyable. Our daughters loved him and his carpenter, Bernie. Thank you Frank for your honesty, integrity and friendship with our family.

Our deepest sympathies to the family for the loss of Frank. My mom went to Holy Family school with Rita and my parents remained friends with Frank and Rita, and I was fortunate to come to know them also. They were both always kind and thoughtful to us. May you all find comfort in knowing that he is at peace now, back together with Rita. Our love and prayers,
