Frank and I met in early 1997 when I joined his shift as a volunteer guide at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  He was my mentor and taught me the art of interpretation.  We became fast friends.  We visited him several times in Hawaii and snorkeled with him at numerous locations.  Hard to understate the influence Frank had on my life.  

Knowing Frank has made a profound impact on my&my familys life. He taught me so much about the ocean,dogs&birds&life.
I would like to dedicate this writing from Rumi,that so reminds me of him...
"The most important thing that you can do is to become a passionate lover of life..

Frank and I met in 1949, play school. Our moms became fast friends so we grew up together.  His mom died in 1978 and them my mom married his dad the following year and we became siblings. I was always fond of Frank and it was great to have him as my step brother. I always admired his passion for life.There are many great memories over the years and I'll cherish them.
