Dana and family I am so sorry for your loss. Dana I worked at ESB in Troy Hill and Frank was always so funny he was such a happy man and he will be missed! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Deepest sympathies – I will always fondly remember our days at ESB and Frank’s huge contributions to our ESB family. He was a good soul that has left us way to soon. RIP good friend!
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Frank’s passing. I am so very glad that I got to see you both at my workplace a couple of months ago, even though it was very brief. My sympathy goes out to you, Dana, and to your son.
Dana and family- I am so sorry for your loss. It was such a pleasure to care for Frank and get to know you. We really grew so fond of Frank and prayed for the best possible outcome for him. Apparently God has a better plan in store for him and I pray for you and your family to find strength through this difficult time. I also pray that Frank has found his peace.

Dear Dana and Tom,
Just read about the passing of your husband. I worked with you at ECF as a teller and remember all the fun we had together. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you will miss him – he was always so kind and patient and had a wicked sense of humor. My thoughts are with you – as you remember him, you will laugh as well as cry.

Dana, my name is Rob Deemer. Through a chance encounter, my brother Bill learned of Franks passing just today as he was reading a small magazine from Geneva College. There was a notice of Frank’s passing in there. I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. He was a great guy!
Both of my brothers, my father and myself I have very fond memories of hunting with Frankie for years and years at Camp 9 Point. I was thankful last year for having the opportunity last fall to meet with Frank and Tom and my brothers and my dad at a small restaurant in Portersville to talk and reminisce. We had a really nice time that evening, if only for an hour or two.
You and your family have all of our family’s belated sympathy and heartfelt wishes as you move forward.
God bless,
Rob, Bill Sr, Bill Jr, and Luke Deemer.
