Lit a candle in memory of Francis J. Castelli
Shared his hard and soft water enthusiasm with me for over 60 yrs. Jon king put it perfectly.
While in high school in the early 60's I was blessed with Frank's careful mentoring as a crew member on his Snipe sailboat and as a fellow DN ice boater. I spent time at his home near where he is interred. He was one of a few who guided my growing into adulthood. What a wonderful man he was, giving and caring for all he knew and met. His long life is a testament to his living and one whose memory is embedded in my mind.Fred Burgett
Thank you Frank and Marcella for being the best neighbor possible for the 10 years we lived on W. Garfield. So sorry for the family's loss of those fantastic people. Allen and Dana Hansen
