    As a close friend, always felt fortunate to know Frank. His precious devotion to family & other special values were significant influences throughout my life. God bless the Rutowski family & the wonderful grandchildren he loved & adored…knowing Grandpa Frank is in eternal happiness.

    It was my good fortune to work with Frank at both Donaldson, Lufkin and Morgan Stanley. I often think about the individuals who have influenced me in life and Frank is high up on that list. A great role model, mentor and wonderful human being. My sincere condolences to the Rutowski family.
