Daniel SlagoskiOur thoughts and prayers are for the family. I will remember our sharing cookies and stories. Also, I recall one snowy deer hunt with him, Richard and Alois and me all enjoying the white out conditions and a cold beer.

Jack and Jo BerryPrayers and thought to Franks family. My mom is at the nursing home for the past 2 1/2 years with Frank. I used to talk and joke with him nearly every day at lunch. We used to laugh together too. He had a strong hand shake and is missed dearly by us.
