Leave a tribute for Frank Labore.
Deepest condolences Charlotte and to the rest of the family. Frank was a nice man and always friendly.
I worked with him at Foothills Correctional, he always had a smile on his face. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Truly a wonderful person. Frank was our PA at Foothills Correctional. He was so good to work with. His personality would light up the room. Really hated to see him leave. May he rest in peace.
