OUR DEAR FRANK. I met frank and his family 40 years ago. At age 16 Frank kinda became my older brother, mentor,friend. I loved his family like they were my own. Him naming one of his twins after me. He was one of the smartest,toughest, loving. He wasn’t perfect for sure,but who amongst us is? Had many glad times,and some sad ones too we shared. He was always there for me no matter what. if I needed him to be there he was. I could call him anytime day or night and he would answer the call. I would often call early before work, just to talk about life and what is happening in this crazy world. I will miss that! He was my prayer partner. Going to really miss that. Frank diffinitly had a role with my maturity in our Lord and savior Jesus. who our hope is in! Thank you brother for everything. Great friend and brother! Tony is right. His Boys are A-plus! Great Men they are,Godly men. Patriots like their Dad. Love you guys! keep the faith. We will reunite! Your Dad will be looking over you. And I am here also for you anytime. Rest in peace brother. Will be missing you much amigo…Thanks for being there! Till we meet again. God bless us everyone! In the beautiful name of Jesus! Amen! That’s how he would close our prayers. Jesus loves you! If you don’t have a relationship with him, start one today while you still can! Frank would want that!! Keep on keeping on…….

Didn’t know FrankGibson, only met him once. If he was like his son’s Shawn and John Gibson, then he was a great person! Shawn and John are great young men. God,Country, Family!! That’s what they are all about!!! Two of the most uplifting young men you would ever meet!! They should be role models for our society today! The world needs more young men like them!!!! My deepest sympathies to you both!! God bless!!!!!!!
