Our Friend and Co-Worker -Tom Frank- 1969 - 2010

Tom Frank was a good man: a loving husband and father, a thoughtful friend, a consummate professional, a genuine and caring man who always wore a smile. On Saturday, July 31, 2010, a heart attack took Tom from us far too soon. Tom was 41. In the picture above, you can see Tom and his family---his wife Mary, and their two beautiful children. It is for Tom's family that the Frank Family Fund has been created.

'm so sorry to hear about Tom. I had so much fun joking with him while he was installing my deck. Please give the family my condolences and let them know that I am thinking about him during this very difficult time.

Tom has been a great friend to myself and my family for many years. I grew up knowing Mary and her family since she was a little tiny girl.
Tom has always been there for us when there has been sadness or celebration in my family. He gave much comfort and support. Always good and kind and there when you needed him.
Words can not express our sudden loss of Tom, so soon. We will miss him very much.
Our prayers and love are with the family.
Love, Leslie Juri and family.

We just found out about Tom's passing and are so very sad. He was the Handyman for our beach house for the last 3 years. He was not only professional and knowledgeable, but such a pleasure to be around. We never met his wife and children, but he always talked about them with such love and pride. We send our condolences to them . Sincerely,
Seabright Surf and Sand

Tom did some work in my house years ago when he had just left the tech field and started to do carpentry work. He had an artist eye and did some exquisite work using felled trees and raw edged wood. I still derive such pleasure from these fine pieces. Not only did he do fine work but he was a joy to work with. I’ll never forget that he came to my mother’s birthday party. She had Alzheimer’s and he was always so kind to her. I met Mary and the kids various times out and about in the community. They were all together and seemed like such a fun loving, sweet family. He spoke so highly of his family and seemed like a loving husband and proud papa. My heart goes out to Mary and the kids for their sorrowful loss. Teri Smith

I just visited this site to get the Cypress phone number and found this. I don't recall ever meeting Tom personally, but if he's like all of the other Cypress employees I know what a huge loss this is for his team. This happened six months ago, but I'm sure his family is really feeling this loss this time of year. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.
