    I want to express my most sincere condolences to the family of Frank. I was Frank’s teacher, Baseball Coach and friend. He never forgot the relationship (Coach/Athlete relationship) that we had created. He would call or come visit when he would come to San Benito to visit his mother and family. I remember the many, many hours we spent working on drills working on making you the best catcher in the league. I know that you took that same work ethic into the workplace and became successful in your businesses. I remember the contagious smile you always had. I remember having conversations and seeing the glow in your eyes and face when you would talk about your daughter’s success in softball/athletics. May GOD BLESS YOU and give you eternal rest and may he bless and console your mother, sisters and family. You will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace
