What a shocking loss. Frank was one of the reasons that this site and the old Vets.com site became such a family. He will be sincerely missed here. The grunt work has been finished and there isn't anything left but R&R.
Father, take good care of our brother.

Crossing the bar...........
is the term we use in the Coast Guard to report on someone's death for whom we have respect. I would like to pass on my condolences to Frank's family and friends. He is one who has defintely crossed over the bar.
CROSSING THE BAR (Alfred Lord Tennyson) Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Regards, Bill

When he reaches the "Pearly Gates" in his full dress uniform, I'm sure St. Peter will salute him.
Let the bugle play "Taps", let the flag be folded, and let us all raise our glasses to his memory.

Frank was my friend , fellow Harley rider and burn advisor but most of all he was my brother. I have numbed my soul because the pain is to much now and the tears won't stop.He was so proud to be a Psyco Vet and to know y'all on this site and be part of the site. Arrow he loved you and lit up like a little kid when he talked to you. I am in shock. I have seen a a lot of death and shook deaths hand a time or two but this has rocked me to my soul.Frank served with the 101st in Vietnam and although we didn't know each other then we were within a few miles of each other in 1971 , in I Corp.. Keep watching my 6 Frank , I need the help.Rendezvous with destiny brother ,you will always be alive in my heart. This one is for you

No word on where or when for the funeral yet. Franks Dad and Mom 's address is MR. and MRS. Frank M Skokan 1320 Hicks Store Road. Tallassee , AL 36078.. Frank's father was a POW in WW II. Frank loved them , a lot , and took almost daily care of them. His Dad is a good hugger. I'll give him a collective hug from all of us at the funeral. Gimp , once I shared your raging asian red neck cajun tenderloin recipe with Frank I think that's all he ate for the last 6 months He is probably up there riding his Harley on some winding road , eating a tenderloin sandwitch , loving his new unburned skin and laughing at me and these %&** tears that won't stop.
