3/1/2012 I'm sorry I was working the polls for the primary on the night I learned on the news of Frank's memorial. I saw Frank numerous times as a resident of the eastside (myself) and he as a prominent resident. I always was inspired by his smile and cooler of cannolis to those who enjoyed them. Frank you were a symbol of the eastside commorodary and fellowship always. Thank you for your traditional values that we all need to remember more so now in these times of changes. L, C ..)Don't worry be happy! and you are now, and enjoying your rewards to others. Condolences to the family.

Cara Famiglia, We were sorry to read about Frank's passing too late to visit with you. Frank was a happy, fun loving, & interesting part of our lives. We always enjoyed bumping into him Downtown or around Brady street, and enjoyed his treats. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts & prayers are with yo at this time.

Con Amore,

My sincerest condolences to the Pecoraro family. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed Frank's visits to the east side bar of Harpo's on Brady during the 1980's and early 90's.

Bands in the bar would stop playing when Frank made his impromptu entrance and then immediately launch into a rousing version of the tarentella wedding song.

Frank would then sing and dance his way through the crowd while hawking his delicious treats.

It was an awesome experience. I'll never forget the great times we had watching Frank and can still hear his familiar cry of "cannoli cannoli pepperoni!!" to this very day.

RIP Frank...you were one of a kind.
