Helen & Family: We were very sorry to hear of the passing of " Little Frankie". He was one of a kind. I was so glad that he got his chance to go to Ireland with the family and then spend time down at the Cape. He will be missed at Corporation Beach for he was a Legend down there and no one dared to place their beach towels & chairs in the scared area. The first time I met him I new he was a special person and he will be missed by the Blomgren Family. May he rest in peace.
