Frank always said "now who are you?" He also always had a joke to tell. I have good memories of him at Nana's house when we were growing up.

Cousin Frank was a few years older than me, but I remember us all as kids playing at Nana's house. He will be missed by his family and friends for his love of life. RIP Frank.

I spent many an hour with Frank when he was with Gaynes and later when he had his store in Winooski. He had a sense of humor that couldn't be beat. A fun person and a joy to be around. May he rest in peace. Hopefully, he is rejoined with Al Cummings doing crossword puzzles at lunch. Condolences to the family.
