Condolence: We send our loving sympathy to you Barbara. You have been a faithful loving wife and long time companion of Frank. May comforting memories help in the days ahead.

Condolence: My sympathy to Barbara. May your many great memories and our Lord sustain you at this time and in the coming days. I came to know Frank through Houghton County Republican politics and thoroughly enjoyed our relationship. Frank was a great man. It was my privilege to know him. God Bless you Barbara.

Condolence: A kinder, gentler soul you wouldn't find. Frank will be missed greatly by so many who had the honor in knowing him. His warm, infectious sense of humor will never be forgotten. He was quick to smile and treated me with such respect. He taught me so much about the political scene and I wouldn't be the same without his influence in my life. Thank you, Barbara for being the kind and generous person you are. You were so gracious and accepting of Frank. He cared deeply for you and talked fondly of you. He will be always in our hearts and memories. With love and sorrow, Janell, Matt, and our daughters, who also had the privilege of getting to know this wonderful man.

Condolence: So very sorry, Barbara, to hear of Frank's death. At least he is no longer suffering. He was a great colleague with a wonderful sense of humor and was helpful to me in my promotion review for full professor. I am now tutoring in the Elains Bacon Literacy Program, as he did, and Andrea Hauge-Bacon makes reference to him from time to time, especially in relation to the website he created and his sense of fun. We will miss him at our retiree lunches. Take care.

Condolence: I am profoundly sad to hear of Frank's passing. He was a good man. My best memory of Frank is his laughter, and what a laugh that was!! I care so much about Barbara. I know she and Frank have many friends here and I hope she will find some comfort with the loving people who call her friend. Thanks for the lunches with the gang throughout the years Frank, along with your joyous laughter and keen intelligence. I'll miss you Frank.

Condolence: My deepest condolences to you and the family, Barbara. I am at a loss for words. Frank and his lasting impression no doubt have touched so many, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be one of those many. You and yours are in my thoughts.

Condolence: I was saddened to read of Frank's passing in the Gazette today. I was a student of his in the mid-1990s at MTU, and I remember with fondness his warmth, humor, passion for teaching and love of language. He taught us German as it was actually spoken and used, and exhibited many personal photos of street signs and the like to illustrate his grammatical points. I also recall him often joining a collection of us students for "Stammtisch" at The Ambassador, a regular conversation group which met in the evening. Though I haven't seen him in many years, I still remember his hearty laugh at an apt turn of phrase. He was a wonderful teacher.

Condolence: So sorry to hear about Frank's passing in the paper. Frank was one of my two favorite German teachers. The other was Barbara. I loved his big laugh and his zest for his topic.

Condolence: We were saddened to hear of Frank's death. We remember him as a vibrant member of the west Houghton "ghetto", a really good man to be around and talk with. He lives on in our memories and we can still hear him laughing and enjoying life, talking about the tulips and other things. We also remember him helping Olga with her English. He will always be a part of our memories and community.
