I am so sorry for your loss. Frank was one of the good ones! May be rest in peace. Prayers to the family..
I want to express my deepest and sincerest condolences to the precious family of Mr. Frank. I had the privilege of working with Frank at Pueblo MS. He was the most sweetest and kindest man. He helped me a few times when I had issues with my home; he would not take a payment from me. “Are you kidding me?!? Keep that! I don’t take money from family!!”
Love and hugs to his family. Love you Shay and Janelle♥️♥️
Thank you ❤️

To my loving sister Kathy and my two wonderful nieces, Annette and Janelle and their families, my heart breaks for you. Frank was like a brother to me. I will truly miss all the great times and many laughs we had together. He was one of those people who would give you the shirt off his back. I hope they let you make your own wine in heaven Frank and I look forward to sharing a few glasses, or bottles with you when we meet again! Love you man! Marty
To my loving sister Kathy and Annette and Janelle and your families, my heart breaks for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Frank was like a brother to me. I’ll truly miss all the great times and many laughs we shared together. I look forward to the day we meet up again, Frank, and have a glass of wine or two in Heaven.
Kathy, Annette and Janelle: It is with a very heavy heart that I write these words. I have the fondest memories of Frank. When you, Frank and Annette lived with us here in my little house, we had fun everyday. Frank taught me how to make pasta and tuna (the Italian way) , I still make it to this day. I think of you all often, it has been way too many years. Know, that I am only a phone call away. I pray that all the great years of memories carry you through the pain and sadness. You are tremendously blessed to have had someone that loved you all so deeply. I’ll never forget him.
Lots of love to you all, Kathy Taylor (Mike)
Frank was one of a kind and the world is a less happy place without him. I miss him already. He was always there when someone needed him, and he was a rock for me when my late wife, Lynn, died. The world is a sadder place without him.
My sincerest condolences. He was one of the hearts of Pueblo for years. He will truly be missed.
What a truly heartbreaking loss this is. Frank was a good man. He was like a brother to us. I have so many great memories of times we spent together that I will cherish forever. Our hearts and prayers are with you Kathy, Annette, Janelle, Shaelyn and all the many people affected by Frank’s passing. May God welcome Frank into His kingdom. Until we meet again…I love you brother.
This is a heartbreaking loss and words cannot express how much it hurts. Frank was a great man and much more than a brother in law. He was our brother and friend. I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever. So many good times that I won’t forget. Heaven just got a little brighter since you arrived Frank. Ricky and Emily met Frank for the first time this year and in just a short time with him they felt loved by him and formed a bond. We’re so grateful for the time we spent together in March. Our heartfelt condolences, prayers, and love go out to Kathy, Annette, Janelle, Shaelyn and all who are affected by this tragedy. God bless Frank and all who loved him.
