Marilyn, we first met nearly 46 years ago. Since then we have enjoyed so much together, work, dinner parties, Oktoberfest, Trinidad, Alaska, South America--but mostly the friendship. We will truly miss Frank.

With love, thoughts, and prayers,

Fran & Larry

Dear Marilyn and Family, You have been much on my mind these past two weeks and thought I should call you. Just by chance I googled The Herald, clicked on obits, and there is Frank's picture! I can't believe it! I owe you both so much for all the help, compassion, thoughtfulness, caring, helpfullnedd you showed Don and I. I can never thank Frank for going to Don's aid one night. I still remember all the wonderful and great parties at your home. So much fun! Frank was a wonderful person, always polite, smart, knowledgeable,and fun!The years in Forest Lakes were the best! I send all my love to you and your family.You are in my prayers during this difficult time. Love, Joanne

I opened this morning's Houston Chronicle (Feb 20, 2017) and spotted Franks obituary. I worked with Frank at Amoco. I was a young man just out of engineering school and Frank was one of my mentors at Amoco. We traveled many places internationally for the company. I knew Frank to be a patient, honorable man interested in providing first class engineering services for the company and teaching the younger crop of engineers. I knew him to have a gentle disposition. He was respected by many at Amoco. A lot of the young engineers like myself looked to Frank for technical guidance. Frank was my model for the type of experienced engineer that I wanted to become. If, in the end, I became that type of engineer it was due, in part, to Frank. It's hard to believe that Frank Hollingsworth has passed. RIP Frank. - John Guild, Feb 20, 2017
