It is so sad to hear of Frankie's passing. He brought so much joy to all with his singing. Heaven will have a beautiful voice to sing God's blessings. Sharon Brown(Pels) Class of 1962 Interlachen, Florida
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Jankowski family is deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Edolo. He was such a wonderful person and had a heart of gold. Frank and Dottie were great friends of my parents. The support they offered when my mother passed was a gift of true friendship. Our sons also will miss him greatly. Their time spent with Mr. Edolo at the bowling alley will forever be etched in their memory. Frank always gave from his heart and we are all fortunate to have been recipients of his spiritual generosity. Love, Joe, LuAnn, Anthony and Andrew, LuAnn Jankowski
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kim & Kathy Our deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your Dad. It was our pleasure to have known him for so many years - both at Smith Motor Co. and whenever he came to Riverview Country Club to play golf with all of his buddies. He was someone who always knew old friends and always took time to talk about your Mom and his "girls". May God be with both of you through this sad time and always remember to cherish the memories for they will become treasures. Hippy & Janet Nooitgedagt,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So Long Boots! You will be missed by ALL! Roger Barlow,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is with a sincerely sadden heart that I offer my condolences to Frank's family. As a boy growing up in Washington, I remember Frank as a star baseball player in my little boy eyes. As a man, I looked up to Frank for the man he was. Frank was a fine man and dedicated to his beloved Dorothy, his daughters and family. I have been privileged in my lifetime to have known such a fine man and family. I had the privilege of knowing Dorothy and many of Frank's siblings. My life has been far richer for having the honor of knowing a loving couple such as Frank and Dorothy. The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. (Numbers 6:24-26) Chuck Roseberry, Washington, New Jersey

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Frank and his family lived by us when we were all growing up. The entire Edolo family was really great to the Lalley family. We got to know the whole family very well and admired and respected them all. Whenever we needed help one of the Edolos was there to lend a hand or offer support. As I got older and left Washington I would still run into one or more of the Edolos at a sporting event. Frank loved sports and continued to support the local kids by coaching. I remember the Edolo brothers were all pretty good bowlers, but only Frank was a great lover of baseball. If I remember correctly Frank liked the Yankees . I was a big Brooklyn Dodger fan and now a METS fan so Frank and I had friendly banter concerning our teams. Through the years wherever and whenever I met Frank he always had a big smile and a genuine how are you. He had a way of making people at ease and happy to be around him. He is a person who I lived next to as I was growing up and never really appreciated how lucky I was to grow up Knowing Frank and his family. As an adult , not living in Washington I didn't stay in close contact with the Edolos and Frank in particular, but whenever I saw him he brought back great memories of my childhood. I was fortunate to have been a small part of Frank's life. Hopefully we will meet again in a much better place. Frank Edolo was a special person who I was fortunate to have known. Frank Edolo a REAL GOOD MAN; Ray Lalley
