Nan and Tom,
We will always hold Frank in our hearts…….
For the way he cheerfully greeted us every morning down at the beach at Scotty’s.
For the way he talked to the ducks, especially his favorite, who he named Pepe, and who he fed with pieces of bread.
For the handshakes and hugs he gave us at your door when we came to visit in Warrensburg and Saratoga.
For the way he enthusiastically brought out a bottle of wine or champagne, and poured a small amount for our “approval” before he continued pouring all the glasses.
For the beautifully-built ship models that he took so much pride in showing us.
For the wooden sailboat, carved cardinal, and landscape painting that he gave us, which are all displayed in our home.
For the handicapping tips he gave us about how to pick the right horse.
For the many stories he told us about his early life in Scotland, building ships, to later, when he came with his brothers to create Scotty’s.
For the humor he displayed in all the funny experiences he had.
For the kind words he always had for our mutual friend Jane.
For the warmest visits we had with all of you at your dining room table and living room.
For the love that he had for you both, that we were able to see every time we were together.
We are so lucky to have our lives blessed by our friendship with Frank and you both. The memories will always be with us, and the love never-ending.
