I only just heard of Frank's passing. I haven't seen him in awhile but often thought of him. He was wonderful and exuberant and will surely be missed by all who knew him. I knew him as a neighbor and a friend for only a short time, but I am nonetheless crushed.

Daddio Francini,

Please watch over the family, especially Jordan- when he grows up we'll be sure to tell him about the awesome grandfather he had. So many memories back in Teele Square. Always will remember going back to the house with Samantha after school & there you were- on your chair with the foot thingy- watching a crazy movie or some documentary.

Always & Forever in our hearts, love you. Fly high & shine bright Daddio!!!

Goodness is eternal. It has a life of its own. Like a pebble dropped into the sea, goodness sends ripples outwards to touch people and places beyond its horizons.

We cannot always know what effect a person's goodness had on the world, but we always know what effect it had on us, and this is the memory we hold in our hearts forever.

With my sincerest sympathy to Frankie's family.

June 20, 2009

Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you and all of your loved ones. And may God hold you hands during this very sad time and for forever.

Love, Virginia and Sonny, Arlington, MA
