Rest in peace Frank, it was an honour and privilege to serve with you in Afghanistan. I cannot attend your funeral as I am at home in UK. I shall fly the Canadian flag given me to by the embassy on Saturday in my garden, in your memory and raise a glass of fine Scottish beer to salute you.

Frank, you touched the heart of everyone you have met, including my own. I appreciate your friendship over the years, but specifically the year in Afghanistan would have been a lot worse, if it weren't for your friendship and especially humour. To the family; I know your hearts are aching. Tanya and I send our love, strength and prayers to you throughout this most difficult time.
Rest easy brother and be at peace, you will be missed dearly, but never forgotten.
