HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Could you please send us a sign that you
are ok, perhaps in a better place? A joke maybe.
Love, Pat
To celebrate his life I'll be dancing at our Obon Festival for him.

In the back of our tour bus, Frank would be giving his own China
tour lectures, laced with Frank-style jokes, the kind that make you
moan! Goodbye, dear Frank. Genie, my sympathy to you.
caregiver to Frank! As a nurse, I have watched you and heard
about you practically turning yourself in knots, fulfilling Frank's
every request and need. You are now a nurse too. :-)

Beyond the darkness will be light, and beyond the sorrow will be peace and treasured memories to live forever in your hearts. With deepest sympathy - the Gonzalez family

The education and growth you taught to so many, is immeasurable and at a whole different level.
Your contagious "smile" and charismatic bantering will be a loving memory for everyone!!!
Have fun causing mischievous deeds with my Dad in Heaven
I was honored to eat with you at the most recent crab feed fundraiser, and words could never cover everything you gave to all of us!!! R.I.P. Mr. Young "Frank".

From my Face book page.
Brian, Very sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good man and I have many memories of him growing up, at Cedarbrook, through high school etc. Losing a father is tough on anyone. Be thankful you had him as long as you did and remember all the things he was there for in your life. I know he is very proud off the man you have become. Thoughts and prayers with you and your entire family.
Kevin Flock
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I felt always welcome in your folks home. Peace to you and your family.
I am very sorry to hear this Brian. I admired and respected your father very much. He is one of the reasons I joined the military as a Reservist. He was an inspiration to many and am sad that he has passed on. Let me know if you need anything.
David
Wow Brian Young, so sorry for your loss! Your dad was always such a nice person! My thoughts are with you...Danielle xxx
Brian, Frank will aways be in our hearts . He was an absolute mentor to many of us while growing up in scouts and a possitive role model, not only for myself but many others. He will be missed. Todd
Brian, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Your father was a great scout master and left me with many fond memories of my scouting experience. He will be missed by many. You and your family are in our prayers.
respectfully,
David
I remember having some really great laughs his jokes and humor where great.
Brian, I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. I have many great memories from being in scouts and having your dad as my scoutmaster. If it wasn't for scouts and your father, I could have easily gone down a path of poor decisions. I am very grateful for your fathers teachings and guidance. Stay strong buddy.
Brian, I am so sorry for your loss. I too have many fond memories of you, your brother, and your father at Camp Cedarbrook. That's where I learned how to sharpen knives, hurl axes, chop down trees, and make fire. It was kind of like "Lord of the Flies" with mild adult supervision. I'll never forget how your brother taught me how to dangle a spaghetti noodle down my throat, cough, then pull the other end through my nose.
That being said, it was the adult caretakers like your father who made the whole thing work and imparted lessons to boys on how to be men. I would not have been able to accomplish half the things in my life without the dedication of men like your father.
Tonight I raise a glass to Frank Young.
Here's to the old man.
Even though I was not a Boy Scout, I too have many fond memories of you, your father, and family. I wish you all well during this very hard time. His infectious smile and warm heart will be remembered always.
Hugs and love,
Julie Bauer (Mathieson)

Brian,
My love goes out to your family, your Dad was the best, I will never forget my days in Cub Scouts with him. I will let my folks know, they really loved him as much as we all did.
Thoughts and hugs I am sending out to you.
Sean
Brian, I am so sad to hear this. Your father was a wonderful man. He gave so much of his time freely to so many. So many stories, circumstances, and memories come to mind. All of them included his famous smile and laugh. My heart goes out to you, Doug and your families. Take care.
Ray
Brian, I am so sorry to hear this. Your father was a great Scoutmaster, and a great man. I have many fond memories of scouting, and almost all of them had your dad involved somehow. Just know that your dad will never be forgotten. My condolences go to you, and your family. May you find comfort in knowing that he was a great man who was needed who left his mark behind. Rest in peace Mr Young.
Sending you and your family our condolences Brian. I'll always remember your dad laughing and having a good time teaching all us scouts.
Bryan I am very sorry to hear about your dad. He like many other selfless men in the Alameda Council helped shaped me and countless others. My thoughts & prayers go out to your family.
wow brian, I am so sory for your loss. I dont remember too much of the boysouts "it was so long ago" but I did remember your dad, and he was a great man, and he will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Hey Brian. Your dad was a great man and very wise. I remember him mostly at CUb Scout meetings at the church on chestnut and Santa Clara ave. hope u are well my friend.
Remember when?
Oh Frank...it's so odd knowing you've left us. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family for so many years. You've enriched our lives with your kindness, wit & humor. You had such a strong sense of family in you. And you were always clowning around!!
I will cherish our little teasing game we had. You, saying "where's Jerry?" with that goofy look on your face, knowing all the while how I hated the nickname. His name is Jeremiah. I would then retort with "here Gina, here Gina!" (we had a DOG called Gina) Sorry Genie, had to hit him where it hurts! He adored you. You had to be there. Inside joke. We would laugh and chuckle over something as simple as that. That was our connection.
"The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living"...Cicero
Goodbye Frank, it has been a pleasure..you brought a wonderful family into this world. Genie...take on day at a time. My heart goes out to you.
I love you, Donna de Nu-White
In Memory of Our Friend, Frank Young June 17th 2013
Genie, your Frank may be at rest, but he left you with many wonderful memories. Frank loved you and supported your interest in life, his love of family and grand children, Community, and volunteerism. I have an Eagle Scout because of his involvment and the ability to encourage good parent participation. I caught the love of gardening from my friend Frank, how to start a Fig Tree from a cutting, and how to grow a juicy Orange in my back yard. I wish I was a story teller, I surely would like to tell some stories of snoring in bunkers at Baker Beach or camping at North Tower but I guess I will have to leave that to Harold.
Frank, I will miss making memories with you, most of all your genuine friendship. Thank You from my heart!
Leta and Harold, The Gowers
