“Frank had a wisdom and grace about him. Over the years I felt that life was so much better by having known Frank….He always brightened up the room and made people smile…Frank was the funniest, most happy, luckiest guy I ever met. He always saw the good in the day and he never let me down. I could always count on Frank Toohey,” RJ McHatton wrote.
