To the family left behind. Our memories are all we have to hold us up at times like this. I know the memories are full for your family. I must tell you and thank for allowing me to come into your home and help care for Mr Fricano in his last days the joy I felt in my heart the day he held my hand and told me I had become a member of your family I will carry that thru the rest of my days. Life takes such strange turns sometimes from being a student of Mr Fricano to becoming his nurse I can't tell you what an Honor that was for me He was such a lovely man and I looked up to him as I grew up, and them coming to him later in life to tell him that it was his turn to behave for me now! I shall never forget the smile it brought to his face. Much love to your Fricano family You are forever in my heart

Dear Dave!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sorrowful time. Dennis first met your Dad in 2nd grade at Starpoint. He had wandered off with another classmate and your Dad educated them on where they should be! Memories live forever!

Tony Fricano was my 6th grade teacher at Campus School at Buffalo State Teachers College in the school year of 1956-1957. He is the teacher who let me read the horse race results in show and tell every day. He was my favorite teacher! We were buddies then, and I will never forget those wonderful days. Forty years later in 1997 we had a Campus School reunion and Tony and family attended. It was a pleasure to see him again and reminisce. My thoughts and condolences go to his family at this time.
