“Terri, John and Laura my heart is with you during this time. As I try and recall an adjective to best describe Frank, only one comes to mind and that is selfless. Frank was a mentor, encourager and someone who held me accountable when necessary. Franks success was seeing others succeed. He was a mentor to me in the early days of my career at Taylor Publishing. He lived a life well lived. My deepest sympathy. John Wigley”
