Old friend, Frank Smith , finally FOUND in the Obits

I am so sad to read about the passing of my old friend and neighbor ( Washington Park, Providence ) Frank Smith . I have been wondering about Frank for more than ten years now. We would often bump into each other in local libraries. I could get a free lecture from Frank on subjects of common interest.
A kind man Frank would loan me twenty dollars numerous times before pay day. For a while we worked together at Ogden Security.
Rest in peace ( heavenly or Lucretian ) my dear friend.
I will tell others about Frank's passing . He will certainly be fondly remembered.
