Aunt Loretta, Katy, Delores and Lucille-
Joey and I were so sad to hear about the passing of Uncle Frankie. Joey enjoyed spending time with him at the family reunion talking of bowling. Uncle Frankie's face beamed with the stories of how well Joey was bowling and his trips on the PBA and his meetings with Dick Weber. I have always heared such wonderful stories from Joey about all of you and Uncle Frankie. We may not be there, but there is a great saddness in our hearts knowing that we will not see his smile again. We love you all. You all are in our hearts and prayers.

Aunt Loretta, Katy, Delores and Lucille,
I can still remember as a child when visiting gramma how Uncle Frank would come and go through the back door of their home creating mystery for a child who watched as he lived a life of carefree adulthood that I longed to have. Then his laughter as he and my father gaffawed at private jokes after Sunday dinners. Then of course there was the excitment of the elopement to Las Vegas.
As an adult I always enjoyed his company and stories. My husband, Chuck, enjoyed the interview reliving Uncle Franks's WWII memories. Even emphasing more how he lived with gusto.
We extend our sympathies in the loss of your husband and brother but take comfort in the memories and smiles that he gave to so many of us. What a wonderful man and how great it was to have him in our life.
Much love, Anne and Chuck

I met Frank when I was about 13 yrs old at the old Bowl-o-Drome. We had a baseball team who wanted to play in the summer,but we had no coach and Frank went out of his way to help us so we could play. Later, I bowled with Frank on many occassions. Frank would always laugh when I immitated his bowling style. He was a quality person with a smile for you. There should be more people like him in the world.
My deepest sympathies.

Loretta, I just want to let you know Frank was a inspiration to me. He always had a smile and he always had a big hello for me. He was a anchor for the association. He was sadly missed and now even more we will not see his friendly face he may be gone but he will never be forgotten.
