Our sincere condolences to the whole Frayne family. We will remember your dad as we walk up West St. and past his home. Remembering him out on the driveway with the little dog…and him trying to keep the little fellow from barking at our dog (to no avail!). Always with a smile and a hello.
So sorry…

Marianne Frayne Hogan and I met in University. Since that time many years ago I have been enthralled with the stories of the Frayne family that have been told to me by an adoring daughter; my friend has a very deep love for her family that seemingly shines out of her. But her relationship with her Dad was always special; she adored him. To Betty and Marianne and Marianne’s brothers and sister and to all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren: How truly blessed you were to have had a true patriarch guiding you through this life. May he rest in peace.
