Not sure what to say?

Still my brother and I talk with him nearly every day. My heart is too full, and my memories overflow. For those who are able to have a brother/friend at least once in their life, they can find solace in the memories, and strength to face the unknown. Until next we meet....

It very hard to think of my child hood friend is no longer with us. I became friends with Frannie back in Meadowbrook Jr High. We were very close through High school. Fran and I went into the service at about the same time. He was in Nam and I was stationed in Okinawa. We would write to each other on a weekly basis. Of course after we both got home safely we hung out alot together. But times change and life has a way of moving friends apart. I have not forgot fran or any of the other friends...

My thoughts are with your family, today. Frannie was a close boyhood friend and I am sure he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. We were both members of The Impalas (our fraternity) and shared many, many good times and lots of laughs. I hold a special place in my heart for my old friends I am sure that someday, somewhere we will have a gathering of the "garage-sitters".

Fran was the best man at my wedding in July 1971. We knew each other from altar boys to being "seasoned" Vietnam Veterans. I know his brother Joe and remember his mther and father very well. We lost contact after my family and I moved out of New York. He is a dear friend whom I will never forget.
