Thank you for all that you taught me. I know it was a lot to take on, going from a single cowboy to having an instant family. There were a few good times and a lot of tough times. That said, wish there would have been more time. Thank you for sharing with me all the wonderful people you contacted in life. I will continue to try and live up to the standard set.

Condolence From Larry Bogges

I was so sad to hear of Franks passing, He will be greatly missed not only by his immediate family, but also by his "trade show" family. He was truly an inspiration to all of us, and a friend to everyone. Working all those Cattle Handling Demo's with Frank will never be forgotten, he always brightened my day, :) My heartfelt sympathy.

An acquaintance in college, a trusted clipper and hoof trimmer of our sale cattle, a respected designer of cattle working facilities, and finally becoming a close friend who I will greatly miss.

Story shared: Amazing Man

I suggest anyone that ever met Frank has at least one or more stories they could share. I'm certain anythng I might write here won't be unique, but wanted to pen a few lines just the same to honor one of the best men I ever met.

Our friendship goes back over 50 years. I'll never forget the day I met him. The first thing noted was the vehicle the man was driving--a 1960 something Ford Falcon Ranchero, red and white it was. That vehicle was an early example of an abbreviated pickup. When Frank began his exit of the vehicle, I became curious immediately of why this giant man would elect to drive such a tiny jitney. HIs first sound after unloading was "Howdy", accompanied by a big smile partly exposing the huge wad of Beechnut chewing tobacco at least as large as a golf ball.

Frank's old Ford Pickup was his trademark. I don't know for sure just how long he drove it, but he had it during his years at OSU. It might have been a good addition to the Smithsonian. I'm not sure he ever swept it out or if he ever washed it. Dosen't matter. It is just one of many unique things that can be associated with Frank.

Frank NEVER shirked a task. Splendid attitude. Unprecedented work ethic. Respected. Made a difference. Loved by many. Will be sorely missed. About enough said.

Frank was a friend, a good friend. He will be remember within the beef industry as an hard working, honest man, that never slacked his duty. He will be missed!

Frank was a lifelong friend and a solid mentor to me as a young high school and college student. Traveled a lot of miles and worked thousands of cattle with Frank, working sales for American Cattle Services. A very unique and universally liked man. Strong as a bear and gentle as a lamb. I cherish many fond memories of Frank. My sincere condolences.
