Clara, Nina and Maryanne, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. As you know our family lost our dad when we were all very young and attending St. John's grade school together. Your dad was SO kind to all of us. He was an amazing, kind, giving, loving man. Our thoughts are with you all.

Frank leaves behind a great legacy. Passion, peace, joy, friendship, and most of all Love. I have a large void in my heart over the loss of a wonderful human being. As I look out my back window I see a emptiness knowing I will never see My Dear Frank. To Clara, Nina and Maryanne, your dad lives through you. Rest in Peace Frank we continue to love you and miss you. Steve & Jackie
