Frank, you turned me from a stupid technical engineer, into a more rounded manager and taught me so much about sales.
I wish we had more time to reminisce about the start of pacom and all the ups and downs.
Thanks for all you taught me.

Rest in peace.

My sincere sympathy to you Robyn.
Although it’s been many years since I have seen you and Frank, I still have lovely memories of when Frank lived with us in Sydney when Claire was quite young.
It was rumoured in Glover Street that I was the woman with 2 husbands !
And at about 2 years old Claire was famously heard saying that everyone had a Mummy and a Daddy and a Frank.
Best Wishes
Louise Maxwell
Sincere and Heartfelt Sympathy to Robyn and Family and this sad time.
Fond memories of the many special visits you had with Stephen and myself.
Always greeted with that infectious smile and a hug.
No more suffering.
Rest in Peace Frank.

Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Robyn from your “ Parky Pals” family.
We will very much miss Franks presence, his beautiful and contagious smile and his lovely sense of humour in amongst so many other things.
We hope you can feel the Parky Pals thoughts and love surrounding in you Robyn.
R.I.P. Frank.

My thoughts and love to you Robyn and family at this sad time.
Due to unforseen circumstances I will not be able to attend the afternoon gathering in memory of Frank.
Thinking of you at this sad time.
Louise Smith
Frank was one amazing guy, having the best qualities we all aspire to.
A huge regret is that but for the tyranny of distance we would have spent much more time together joking and laughing over the 40 years since we first met.
We’re sure Robyn will admirably keep his awesome legacy alive.
We will sorely miss you mate.

Thank you for the kindness you extended to me and that of Frank.

I am incapable of attending the service and the quake at “Avonsleigh” but my heart will be with you.

I met Frank for the first time over 35 years ago in the UK.
We always managed to have a good rapport and not only worked together but became good friends.
We worked in the Bell Group business that we floated when Pacom became part of the Group.
I am so sad to hear of Frank’s passing and my thoughts and deepest condolences to Robyn and the rest of the family.
Rest in Peace Frank.
