I am deeply saddened by the news of Frank's passing. Growing up in Bristol, I and several of my friends were influenced in such a positive way by his example. I have fond memories of spending many hours on South Holston Lake with the Sikoras and the Crofts. Frank and Thais hosted my bachelor party in their home in 1976.

Dear Thais,
It is so sad to know that Frank is gone. He will be missed and long remembered by his many friends. And we, especially, will always appreciate his teaching our children to water ski. We enjoyed so much the many wonderful dinners we had at your home for our annual Christmas Club get together.
Take care, Sudie and Sidney Wike

I was very saddened to hear of Frank’s passing. Some of my fondest memories growing up involve Frank and all he Sikora’s. Given the season the one that comes to mind is trick or treating as Dad and Frank pulled us through the neighborhood in their tractors.

Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
