I am very sorry to hear about Frank's passing. He was a good man. Please accept my condolences.
To the Hamtak Family,
I am so sorry to hear the passing of Frank, he was my colleague at TUV SUD ARISE, it came as a total shock to each of us. I recently had the opportunity to meet Frank for the first time this past February in Houston, TX, we conducted a week-long visit to some of his old contacts. I can say he certainly had a nice way about him and made folks feel at ease.
Frank was such a nice guy, he was down to earth, knowledgeable and positive, and fit in perfectly as part of our team, he also had a great sense of humor. People said if you need answers to talk with Frank, he was the go-to guy, and I can say on a few occasions I saw that in action! He will be sorely missed by the team and our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Dave Dougherty
Sad news came to me from my colleague at Louisiana, and I could not believe it first. Although I had interaction with him for just three years, Frank was very friendly, simple and open minded. He always brought an air of ease with him. Wish all the peace to him.
RIP my great friend.
My deepest condolences and prayers for your family. I had the pleasure to work with Frank over several years in Springfield. I have the utmost respect for him in many areas.
Dear Frank, rest easy my friend, it was nice to have known you. Blessings to you and your family during this very difficult time. Jesus Loves You. Greg Schroeter
PS. Please say "Hi" to my Dad Ray Schroeter up in heaven for me. God Bless .
My sincere condolences to the Hamtak family, and my prayers go out in support. I knew Frank in my short time with OneCIS when he worked out of the Houston office on Benmar St. He will be truly missed.
So sorry to hear of Franks passing. He taught me a lot about the ASME code while being the AI. May he rest in peace.
