Lost my friend yesterday, Quite a guy,

[Hoppy]

Frank was the guy whose table you wanted to be at when you were at a social affair. Funny, upbeat and always with a smile on his face, he could keep you laughing for hours.

I could tell you stories but my favorite was when he was working for A.D.P. in the '60's. Company would fly him first class from N.J. to Ca. After one of the flights, he called his wife to tell her he sat next to Harry Belafonte. Nothing more was said about that... Plane arrived, I'm safe and so forth.

The next morning, there's a knock on the door. His wife answers and there are flowers and a card,

"With my deepest sympathy,
Harry Belafonte."

I miss him.
