Frank was a special person in our lives for over 60 years -- as a friend of John's at St. Michael's College in Toronto in the early 60s, and later as a brother-in-law and uncle to our children who spent many happy holidays with their O'Brien cousins in Rochester. Frank and Barb's house was always a lively and fun place. They had dogs, which we didn't, lots of games and cards, a colour TV before we did, and a larger variety of good breakfast cereals; also Aunt Barb had accessible make-up for little girls to indulge their fantasies. Frank was always cool and patient and treated kid mischief with humour. As time went on, we enjoyed regular visits in Rochester, South Carolina, and on holiday cruisies. In recent years our grandchildren also came to appreciate Uncle Frank's humour.
