Good Bye to a dear FRIEND "Frank Firestine"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you miss the service this is what was said:
What can you say about a man named Frank Firestine?
Well, Frank was a man of many hats.
First and formost, Frank wore the hat of a family man. He would always keep you updated on how everyone was doing. He was so very proud of all of them. You never had to ask about them. They where always included in every conversation.
When wearing his business hat, he was one of the hardest workers I know. However, if a racer needed his help because he crashed his car, Frank would stop what he was doing or try to. He would wave his special brand of magic to get them back out to the track.
Frank even wore a “Top Hat” when being a true gentleman. He would always take time to talk with the wives and the family of the racers. He took that time to make them feel special. This meant a lot to them and made the whole family feeling around racing work.
Frank’s hat that I cherished the most was the mentor hat. I not sure of what one looks like, but Frank had one. In my 25 years of teaching, I learned that mentoring is a special gift. Frank mentored me and I learned so much from him that I could pass on to my students.
Frank will always be part of the way I live my life. In all of Frank’s many hats, he showed me three things:
-Have goals that challenge you
-Do the best you can, and
-Try not to hurt anyone along the way.
Frank we will miss you, But we will never forget you!!!!
