I first met Frank when he was my sixth grade teacher at Milton Academy back in the 1940's. He was a wonderful friendly gentleman.

I was one of the Caregivers who helped with Mr. Millets care. Mr. Millet was such a wonderful man, always asking me when I was coming back. It was my honor and pleasure to have cared for him over the last two and a half months. I'm really going to miss him. Rest in Peace Mr. Millet you earned it.
