Not sure what to say?

Frank was a beautiful person. Kind, loving, funny, and someone you'd love being around. It still is a shock to me that he's gone, but I know he will continue to be positive and do many kind things on the other side. We will meet again. Until then, may your memory live on. Rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of Meeting Frank through his wife Roe. Roe and I worked together for about 2 1/2 years. We quickly became very good friends and shortly after, I was introduced to her Husband Frank and children Frankie and Matthew. This family is all about making you feel like you are part of their own.
I will never forget how funny, friendly and giving Frank was. He was such a family oriented human being with a heart made of gold. He loved his children like every father...

Although I made it to New York for the funeral, I miss talking to Frank on facebook. He was helping me learn about our family, he would call me and share stories about our grandparent and great- grandparents, he always told me these stories with such pride. I will miss you my cousin.

I've Known Frank since first grade 1965. I'd lost touch with him for about 20 years, but when I got back in touch about a year ago, It was like we had seen each other yesterday. My prayers and condolences go out to his family. Heaven has gotten a good man.

I remember Frank as being very kind, funny and an all around good guy. A friend of my parents since I was a little girl, I remember Frank his wife Rosalie and Frank's brother Sal. Sal would have the best 4th of July parties ever back in the day and I remember Frank treating everyone like they were his family. What a shock he is gone and my condolences to Rosalie, Matthew and Francesca. He is watching over all of you now with that big smile. God Bless you all.

I worked with Frank for almost 10 years at LIBS. I remember when I first started as a telemarketer, donors were always requesting "Frank" and I thought "who is this guy?" Well, then I met him and understood why the donors loved him so much. He was 1 in a million. As I got to know him and love him as the donors did it was apparent how much he loved his family too. He always talked about his wife and children. He was just a happy man! It was infectious!
I feel blessed to have...
