Good-bye dear friend. Rest in Peace with your son. I will miss you. All of us were cheated by an early death but rich because you touched our lives. God's blessings be upon you.

I could not have asked for a better Uncle, or a better example of how to listen with full attention and do right by others.

Uncle Frank was the Father of Jay, my first best friend. I will always be grateful for the many things he taught me and the richness of my time in his company.

You are missed and always will be, Uncle Frank. Thank you for being as you were.

The moment that you died, my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. Ill often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks, remembering you my brother, ill do it every day, but missing you is heartache that will never go away, ill hold you tightly in my heart, and there you will remain, until the joyous day when we will meet again. will miss you Frankie, rip.
