Frank's Headstone & Memorial Service - APRIL 2006

Frank passed away on 17 May 2005.   It's hard to believe that in a few days he'll have been gone for THREE years.  GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.   I miss you Mr. Gorshin.

"What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for

all that we love becomes a part of us."  --- Helen Keller

There was a private memorial service for only family and a few friends held on 5 April 2006 (which would have been Frank's 73rd birthday).   As you can see - the headstone is beautiful!  The dates are 1933 - 2005.   And there's a little saying at the bottom "WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?".   Frank often asked that question about LIFE.    The staff at the cemetery loved Frank - the burial vault was painted Riddler-Green and had a Large Question Mark on it -- I'm sure Frank would have LOVED it!!

I received a very lovely card from Dottie (Frank Gorshin's sister) in June 2005.  In it, she enclosed a Memorial Card that had a poem dedicated to Frank.   It's beautiful.

IN MEMORY OF FRANK JOHN GORSHIN

AFTER GLOW ---

I'd like the memory of me to be a
happy one, I'd like to leave an
afterglow of smiles when day is
done.  I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who
grieve to dry before the sun, Of
happy memories that I leave
behind When day is done ....
