I know it has been over 10 years since Frank passed but wanted to let his brother Charles know that I tried several times to get ahold of him or Cheryl. I worked with Frank at Whirlpool and was not in town during his passing or funeral. However, I was able to retain his Franklin Planner and wanted to pass /mail it to you. I hope he’s in heaven having some good beer while listening to his old music . Take care, Chris Schmidt, Westfield,IN
