For those of you curious about who this guy is, here's the caption next to the picture on the website I was led to after searching for images under the parameters of "Musso Frank" on Yahoo:
Big Frank Musso , my grandfather from Thibodaux, Louisiana, was one of those individuals people never forget. A big man, he was dwarfed only by the size of his heart and the impact he left. He was a volunteer fireman for over 60 years, served as President of the Louisiana State Fireman's Association and had a remarkable career in law enforcement at both the state and local level. He made me laugh every single time I was with him and is the biggest influence on my own sense of humor. But his humor is only a fraction of the tremendous contributions he gave to me; he touched every single part of my life.
So, here's to Big Frank -- a man with a good sense of humor, and who I hope will symbolize the fun and good senses of humor that will be present tomorrow.
