“Mike, so saddened to hear that your dad passed away. Please send your mom and the rest of your family my deepest condolences. I thoroughly enjoyed working with your dad at southern station. He always had our back and was a true gentleman. I remember going through a divorce and i just bought a new car which i knew i could not afford to keep, rather than take a loss on it your dad bought it from me to help me out. I know he didn’t even need a car at the time but that was frank. Bigbear”

Dick Verbrugge wrote a sympathy message

“I attended Polytechnic High School where Frank and I first met. We were friends and both on the Block P Society. After our respective graduations, I did not see Frank for several years. When we met up again, he was with SFPD and I was a State Narcotic Agent. Our friendship was renewed and I found Frank to be one of the nicest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My wife (who also knew him from Poly) and I, send our condolences to his family for their tragic loss. Dick Verbrugge”

nicholas rubino wrote a sympathy message

“I have known frank for many, many years, and all are wonderful memories. I never saw frank without a smile on his face. Frank was like the energizer bunny, he just kept on going, on and off duty. Although i did not see him as much as i would have liked, i was always able to find out how he was doing from his police family. He will be missed but never forgotten. There will be only one frank petuya and we were all blessed to have known him. God bless, nick rubino”
