Condolences
The family of Frank J. Cogswell has received the following condolences.
When I won the SE Minnesota Golden Gloves Championship in 1978, Frank won his 6th title. We were on the same team together in the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves Tournament representing Rochester/Region 8. Frank was the first boxer ever to win 5 Upper Midwest Golden Glove Boxing Championships! He was a GREAT boxer, my condolences go out to his family!
My heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of Frank. May God be a source of strength and comfort at this most difficult time. May the warm and precious memories
you have of him help give you the comfort and peace of mind you need. Pray to God for endurance to cope with his passing.
Psalm 62:8.
Dear cousins,
I'm so sorry to hear about Frank, Kirt and Diane just called me. He always brought a smile to my face with his funny sense of humor. I pray that God gives you comfort in this difficult time.
Blessings,
