Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Thank you, Frank. It was a pleasure to have known you. Enjoy the next phase and remember the times we played Kissing Camels and he other times. Your very good friend. Jim Eaton
Frank was a good man. Warm, friendly, sincere. He was in ‘Heaven an hour before the Devil knew he was dead.’ We will all miss him dearly. Our love and prayors.
Frank was a wonderful man, and he will be missed by many. We have many fond memories, and his spirit will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss! When I was born, my dad worked for DeCoursey. He worked there until 1965, his name was Wayne Rutherford. When I think back, I remember his uniform and hat. I remember He always said ‘adios amigo’s!’ when he left for work, and I always couldn’t wait until he got home to see if he brought me some chocolate milk! When I got a little older, I remember he always spoke highly of Frank DeCoursey, and everyone he worked with. I am glad to be able to come on line and relate my sympathy for your loss. May God comfort you and be with you at this time.
