I was so saddened to hear of the passing of my sweet cousin, Frank. I have so many great childhood memories of being with the James Gang. Frank always had a touch of extra compassion for his bothersome little cousin, me! I will miss him and am sending love and prayers for his family.

We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Frank. We went back to the many, many memories at Dorrance Park with the boys and Frank involved in URICRA. Such fun times, even though our lives were consumed with baseball. Loved the concession stand hot dogs!! Our sympathy goes out to you, Sandy and the boys and their families.

I remember Frank as a great neighbor out in Port Byron. I fondly remember playing with David and Danny in the basement listening to Neil Diamond records. All of my thoughts and prayers to the James family.
