Frank Grossmann

Dear Rita, We are very sad to hear that Frank has passed away. We remember him as a good, humorous, interesting friend we were always happy to see and be with. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Christian and Lieve

Dear Frank, I have so many fun memories of our time together at ISB. ..some of which include sitting at Happy Hour and 'hashing out' the week, laughing about the best way to 'do laundry', shaking my head when you and Liz would talk about topics - over my head and of course the many food and wine conversations that we shared....mostly wine. I will always regret not getting to France to check out your wine cellar. Rest in peace and drink one for me with the big guy.

Elinor and I send our love and condolences to Rita and Mary. Frankie is one of my oldest friends, having met in the 2nd grade. I know my world will be a little sadder, knowing he is gone. I am sorry we didn't visit and correspond more frequently. Rita kept up her end, but we didn't.

Dear Rita, We are deeply saddened by the loss of Frank. We cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now. Frank was a friend and a wonderful person. We will miss him dearly. We fondly remember the times we gathered at your home. You and Frank were always so hospitable and kind, and you made us feel at home. In particular, we remember one evening we spent together for dinner and conversation. Frank told us a very funny story that made us laugh. We remember that he showed us the work you were doing around the house, in the garden, and in the vegetable garden. We really enjoyed the "literary" atmosphere of your home, full of books. It was a pleasure to talk with him and have interesting and cultural conversations. Our deepest condolences also go to Mary, Keisuke, and Anna. Giovanni e Sonia Nardotto
