Edie, Joe and Namath family my sincerest condolences for your loss. I always looked forward to my visits with Frank when I was home for visits. I have great respect for Frank as a businessman, a family leader and being a good man. I’m especially thankful for his occasional sage advice for me and Joe during our high school years. I’ll fondly remember him always.
RIP Friend

To the Namath family. My deepest condolence for the loss of Frank. He was a great fellow. And to Joe Willie…I recall your dad having that small house corner lot in N.B. and the big green Chevy Impala with the Jets licence plate. I am one of your biggest fan. May God grant Frank Blessed Repose and Eternal Memory. Sincerely, Dennis Shema NBHS Class of 1970.
