It was sad to hear of Frank's passing, prayers for all his family and friends.
I worked at EV, Sevierville TN during the time Frank was there, he was a well liked person and supervisor; it was a sad day when we were told he had to go back to MI.
Whenever Frank was back in the area he always stopped by the plant to visit with all of us.
God Bless each of you.

Frank was one of those persons that I will always associate with those who lived a life of service to others. In our years together at Electro-Voice he was always ready to help and sincerely cared about associates and customers.

Frank was a fellow Marine and co-worker who was always there when you needed a friend to help you find your way along the path of life. For that he will always be remembered by me and my wife.

Frank was a great model for the "true spirit of EV," always doing everything possible to make our customers happy and helping his associates do the same. He was always there with a smile on his face to help solve a problem. Working with Frank was an honor. And he made it fun, too, finding the time to share a moment or two for stories about the old EV products we both loved, and old cars too.

Praying for God's presence and comfort to be with Juanita and family - friends during this difficult time.
I had the honor to work with Frank over many years in Tennessee and Michigan. Frank was always one of the most sincere, genuine and cooperative people you could ever hope to meet. He took tremendous pride and dedication in the quality of EV products and in taking care of EV customers. He was greatly respected inside EV and in the field for his professional manner and technical expertise. He was always very helpful to anyone in any situation. A truly great person to know and work with.

I worked with Frank during most of his time at Electro-Voice. He was one of the most organized persons I have ever met. He would remind you of statements made in a phone call years later.
He was also one of the most honest and caring managers in the company. He could be trusted to do what was right, even when it went against company policy.
They say the mark of real celeberity is being remembered 10 years after your death. I expect all who had the honor of knowing Frank, will remember him all of their lives, I know I will.

Frank was a wonderful man in many aspects in his life and transcended his reputation as Mr. Service of EV into the many realms of the sound industry. Frank and I was guest at the monthly meeting at the esteemed Hollywood Sapphire Group in California where Frank entertained the biggest names of sound and film as guest speaker of the evening. There, he commanded the congregation with a stunning oratory of the history and quality of EV. Frank was well known as a sincere leader a gentleman and he will be greatly missed. Rest in pride Frank.

Juanita:
I'm so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and you family.
I worked with Frank at Electro-Voice in Buchanan and then I transferred to Morrilton, Arkansas. I enjoyed working with Frank when he came to Arkansas to help with the start up of the Service Department at the Morrilton plant. He was a very interesting and wonderful man.
May God Bless.

People might believe Franks name was hey. All conversations began with hey Frank or hey Uncle Frank and then I think he knew a question was coming. Uncle Frank had the answer or he sure would get back to you with the answer. Never gave up and nothing got him down.Now i know it was my water pump, sorry for questioning your knowledge. Next car will be a Ford not a Dodge. I will see you in the poll barn. Do you think its my water pump. Frank was a very humble man and best friend. Behind every great man theres a great woman.
We love you and with you always Aunt Juanita

Frank hired me at EV when I was just 21 years old. I couldn't have had a better role model at work than Frank. He would always help everyone out and he did the work of five people. Not only that but he would always do it with a smile.
When I got to work he was already there and when I left for home he would still be there working to help some customer out. I have yet to meet someone who worked as hard as Frank did.
There wasn't a project that Frank wouldn't tackle, he loved to learn and he loved to teach. He made a great impact on my life and I am going to miss him greatly. I just wish he had more time here with us.
When I would ask Frank about what he wanted to do when he retired - he always talked about how he would go down to Tennessee, put a fishing line in the water, and not even put a worm on the hook. That just reminds me of how content he was with his life.
Thanks for everything Frank and I'm very sorry for your loss Juanita.

I knew Frank as a result of the business that my employer did with Electro-Voice over a great length of time. Frank was always affable and very helpful. I could always count on him to either find what I needed, or give me an explanation as to why it was no longer possible. Frank was a pleasure to do business with, and a fine human being. Anyone who knew him was lucky.

I first met Frank while he was National Service Manger and I was working for a local sound Company. Frank was a like a mentor to me when I was working for EV. Frank always made me think how I could keep customers happy and how to best serve them. When I figure out what he was talking about he would just smile knowing that I just learn something. My deepest sympathy goes to your family he was a wonder person and mentor. God bless you.

I first met Frank while he was head of Sevierville Engineering in Tennessee. Frank was a nice soft-spoken gentleman with never a cross word or temper but always a greeting smile; a true son of the Old-South. Frank was the type of manager that inspired dedication and loyalty.
Whenever I was back in Sevierville, I think on Fridays, we would go the internationally known Sevierville, Tennessee, Fire House for lunch. There Frank introduced me to the Southern delicacy of kilt lettuce.
Frank, I'll see ya at sundown.
