Papa frank passed away sometime in the night between wednesday and thursday. I don't know specifically when.
The wake/funeral is scheduled for Tuesday the 25th in Las Cruses, New Mexico. That's about all I know. I'll be flying down to attend. I'll be happy to play violin at his funeral. I'm not sure if I'm leaving sunday or monday, hopefully I'll be able to be back by thursday morning though. It all depends on ticket prices.
This was the only grandparent I ever felt any sort of connection to. He inspired and encouraged me to draw, play violin, play games... It's easy to see where he influenced how my mother raised me up. She also encouraged and inspired all of those things.
He told the best stories too.
Rest in peace papa frank. Things wont be the same without you.
