Family of Frank, Please accept our sincerest condolences in the recent loss of Frank- a very special person! We both so enjoyed chatting with him at the SNB concerts as he sat behind us, and we missed him when he stopped attending regularly. His many contributions and his leadership in many organizations provided strong role modelling for other members and volunteers. His legacy is lasting and his presence will be mightily missed.

To Frank's Family, We were very sorry to hear of Frank's passing. He was a great friend of my father's and one who clearly understood how important it was to serve his country and his community.

To the Ervin Family, I am truly sorry for the loss of your dad, Frank. He was a very dear friend of my own parents, John "Jack" and Mary Jane Kelly who we said goodbye to 2 years ago. Frank attended my dad's wake and I believe my mothers as well. What a true gentleman! I am not sure they make men like our fathers anymore...dedicated to their faith and their families and truly exemplary in every way. God Bless you in the days ahead....there truly isn't a day that goes by that i don't miss my parents

Hi Pat and Nancy and Ervin family: Sorry to have to say goodbye to another proud veteran and dad. Only service and love for his wife and family seemed to surpass his devotion to his country in so many meaningful ways. Think he could have written several books on various subjects. Always a joy and education to share conversation with Mr. Ervin. Hold your heads high and celebrate a remarkable life. Friends Peter and Jo
