08 Jul 2003 REMEMBERED by his friends and classmates from Towers High School Class of 1969 Placed by schoolmate. E-mail address is not available.

 

Frank was my classmate and dear friend. He was a kind and gentle person to all that knew him. Frank joined the Marine Corps early on in his young life to serve his country. After Frank was in Vietnam I received several letters informing me of his time there, his thoughts, dreams and hopes concerning the future of returning home to his family and friends. It was not to be as Frank lost his life in Vietam while serving his country. I think of Frank Simmons often. I will always remember Frank and hold special memories of him in my heart. I would love to hear from anyone concerning my pal, buddy, and a person dear to me. Peggy L. Fennelle a high school classmate and friend peggyfennelle@yahoo.com

 

15 Jul 2003 I grew up with my friend Frank Simmons and this is how I found your site. Frank was the big brother I never had, and I have missed him for a very long time. I was also a friend of the family and his brother Shulken whom I also have lost touch with. Frank, Ben Lee, and myself were the Three Musketeers. Unfortunately I am the only survivor.
