95 years...of loving, working hard, laughing, and enjoying life. He came from nothing and made something of himself. He was an inspiration, and he will be missed. Sending you all so much love! It's always too soon!

My sincere condolences on the passing of Frank. Being a friend of Tammy’s back in the day, and a long standing family member of Maple Downs I was lucky to have known Frank and had many conversations over the years. He was always gracious with his time and wit. I will always remember him as a wonderful human being. I am sure he will live on through the family he has left and the people he touched.

To the Risman Families: I moved in to Sunrise Retirement Home a little over 5 years ago and was so happy to see Frankie and Phyllis living here. We sat together for every meal and re-acquainted with stories of the "old" days. I originally met Frankie when he was a teen-ager and we had a lot of fun with a group from B'nai B'rith. The years have run away---he worked hard and accomplishments are many. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and friends--but never forgotten. My heartfelt condolences to all the families Helen Davis
