I worked with Frank at Kafer for 3 years and enjoyed many rounds of golf with Frank. One fond memory was while golfing Frank’s ball came to rest in a pine tree about 4 feet off the ground. He took a mighty baseball like swing at the ball which then flew over his shoulder just missing his head. Thankfully it missed and we all had a good laugh about it. Condolences to the family
Frank trained me when I got started with Simco as a rep. I’m from South Carolina and I remember him taking me to breakfast in Pa. and ordering me scrapple!! I thought it was DELICIOUS!! He finally let me read the ingredients several days later-wow!!
So when I got back to South Carolina I sent him a 2lb. bag of grits!! It was a great joke between us-I will miss him
