Pam and family. I came upon this for some reason today. Those of us from South Boston and C-Town have way more in common than we don´t. Man of friends from other parts of the City are effected by pain and loss.
Frankie always was a gentleman and had smile on his face. It was a shame I didn´t see him on the streets. May he rest in peace. Losing someone never really gets easy. Even if we have to force ourselves we gotta be thankful for the simple things. With Love

To the Butler and Walles Family,

My thoughts and prayers will always be with you. Frankie will be so sadly missed. It was an honor to have him as a friend and noone could ever ask for a better and more loyal friend. I have know Pam and Frankie for about 30 years. A long time of friendship has grown. He was always on my mind, especially when I use to look at my pictures of all of us which I do often. The news shocked me as if I was having a bad nightmare. I will always have him in my thoughts. My heart goes out to you and your family through this difficult time. Stay strong. He will be OK.
