Sympathy Messages
To Shirley and all of Frank's family,
My deepest condolences to all of you.
Frank was a mighty fine man and certainly was an inspiration for all of ACRA. The St. Gabriel's food bank has benefitted greatly from his inspiration and support. I am also going to miss him on the golf course and the apres-golf dinner and discussions. I have a few pictures of Frank from golf and ACRA dinners and if you would like me to forward them to you please let me know.
See you on Friday,
Peter Yaworski

Frank was the reason why ACRA became involved with the St. Gabriel's food bank. While serving as principal at St. Gabriel's school Frank had the opportunity to meet Sister Diana who headed the food bank at St. Gabriel Parish. A long time donor, Lou Segatore, passed away and she feared that his donations to the food bank would be badly missed, Frank got ACRA aboard and the poject continues!
