To the Losurdo family,
Sorry to hear of Franks passing, he was such a fun guy. I played a lot of golf at Cedar View in the 70's and 80's and Frank was always there.
He was one of a kind, cherish the memories !

I will miss my Pinochle opponent and the special "Italian Training" I received each summer in how to wait on the male gender. I think I flunked! Love to all. I will miss you, Squirk!
