He always gave,
others pious took;
he never judged,
he was loved.
I smoke a lot,
he did not;
He saw March
but April not.
Good people pass
Bad people stay
I miss him
every single day.

It is 1.30am in England, I am listening to Chet Baker and thinking about Frank. Words fail me. I miss him.
Very sorry for your loss.
He is not lost, when I look in my heart he is always there, I always know where to find, in our favourite music, poems, plays he will always will be with me. Thank you for your kind words.
My father’s words in his hospital bed: “Don’t mourn for me, I’m finally out of here., in a better place. Mourn for yourselves because you won’t have me any more.”
You have a good friend in him, that will stay in the presence tense I think.
Ina, Thank you. He was a mathematician but he would have loved that literary comment about talking him in the present tense. One of his favourite words was Cenotaph, an empty tomb, where the spirit is somewhere else. I know where Frank is everytime I see a Tree.
