Lesley Ingham It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of my longtime friend and colleague Frank. Working together or many years, I feel that I contributed to the business through my many contacts and networking in the business community and through my associations at the YMYWCA. My admiration for him not only included his business ability, but the devotion that he had for his wife.
I was unable to continue working in the business, due to my diagnosis of stage 2 throat cancer, For myself, it was a catch 22 situation, continue doing a job that I enjoyed, and did well, at the expense of my health, or deal with the situation head on. I know that I made the right choice.
I look at the time that I spent working alongside Frank, as an experience I would have missed having. His life lessons of determination and not giving up, helped me to make a complete recovery.
With greatest regards,
Your friend, Rob Clifford

Karen Ballinger Hi Bonnie,
I was so sorry to read in the newspaper this morning about Frank’s passing. Gerry and I always enjoyed having him haul away our unwanted things. Such a fine man. Since Gerry passed away, almost 3 years ago, I have thought often of you and your family. Sending prayers for you at this difficult time. Please call if there is anything I can help you with.Karen Ballinger
