Every time I think of Frank, the first image that comes to mind is the 'spicy' bean dip.  It was a family gathering, and Amy had brought a homemade a bean dip.  Frank asked if it was spicy, and was told it was not.  Frank tried it, and it was mere seconds before his forehead started beading with sweat.  He yelled out, "You said this wasn't spicy", and Amy was "It's not".  Frank hovered over the sink and kept refilling his water glass, while his face got redder and redder...yet during all this, he managed to keep making jokes and giving Amy a hard time about the spice.  For the record, the rest of us had the dip, and all declared that it was NOT spicy, but that it might have had the teensy-tiniest bit of a little kick to it.  
Enjoy Heaven, Cousin Frank....and stay away from the bean dip!

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share one of my favorite memories of Frank with you all. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kristen and I am Amy’s half sister. We have the same mom, but different father’s. Amy would spend the summers in California with us ( mom, my dad and sister Melody). Frank would call Amy over the summer to check in and have chats to see how her visit was going. Sometimes I would answer the phone and Frank would pretend that he was Peter Pan and of course being the gullible 7 year old I totally believed him :)  He would always pretend to be a different character when he called. Sometimes it was Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck! He did a great job impersonating the voices:)
Now that I’m an adult I look back and realize that he truly cared for me and my sister Melody. Even though we weren’t his biological kids he knew how important it was for Amy to have a relationship with her sisters. He wanted melody and I to like him, and we sure did! Frank always made sure that Melody and I were included, and that we could talk to him about anything. He will be missed,but his memory will live on! We love you Frank!

Hope Nancy is ok with me posting this story, but it is one of my favorites!  

My dad met Nancy after his heart attack in Cardio Rehab. She worked there as one of the volunteers.  The first time he asked her out, she didn't even respond and just walked away.  She later told me she was so flustered as she had not been on a date in some time.  She didn't know what to say!  She eventually said yes to coffee and so began their love story :) 

When I first met Nancy I told my dad he had finally met his match!  Her sense of humor was completely in-line with his and she always had a comeback for him.  They were amazing together and I have never seen my dad so happy as when he was with Nancy (insert heart emoji here). 

They had both agreed that marriage was not something they were interested in doing again, but were totally committed to each other.  So my dad proceeded to purchase her an "Un-Engagement" Ring and got down on one knee and asked her to "never" marry him!  She wears the ring to this day and never takes it off.  I just loved their relationship...so open, honest, fun and very very very special.  I love you Nancy - thanks for making my dad so happy!  

Frank's love of softball brought us together while I was coaching softball at Adrian College. He had a great wealth of knowledge about the game, pitching skills, and pitching mechanics. He was a true sports psychologist, always thinking, and usually about three steps ahead of everyone. He was very humble, fun to be around, and helped lead our team to great success. Frank will be missed by the game of softball, those he coached, coached with, and those he came into contact with.

He alway brought laughter to my life.  I never new what surprising thing Frank might say.  My favorite memory was being at Target with Frank and Amy.  Frank said, "I feel like I'm standing on the corner of beautiful and gorgeous!".  I couldn't stop laughing!!!

Frank what so wonderful to my daughter Maddie while he coached her on the Mills Park Middle School team. He gave her pitching tips and shared his sports psychology with her. He even came to some of her travel tournaments. He was such a kind man. We're very sorry he's gone. It's a true loss.

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of coach Fry. He was a kind man, who made time for my daughter and others, on the middle school softball team. He coached her into hitting on her left, and making her a switch hitter, helping her become the player she is today. 
Our sympathies to his family at this sad time, he will be missed. 
The Cini family.
