    Sorry to hear that Frank has left us. He was a very close and enjoyable cousin. Frank was very close to my parents Ernie and Joy Spurling and was always at family reunions and gatherings. He will be missed by all who knew him. I have lived so far away that I had not had the chance to visit with him for a long time but he is still always on my mind. I just ran across pictures from the Jones family reunion in 1981 and have fond memories of all of them.

    Doris & Frank’s Family
    I’m so sorry for your loss. While working at Ronk Bros. Heating I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting with Frank and Susie almost daily before he had to move to County Meadows. He really was a joy to visit with and I truly missed him when he moved. My condolences to his family.
