Not sure what to say?

he was a nciest priest i ever knew! we used to talk together at st bredan rectory and he was always cornced about me!!

I remember Father Frank during my years of grammar school at Sacred Heart in Clifton. I graduated from there in 1969. He was always so very nice and kind. I visited him a few years ago at Saint Brendan's Church in Clifton in relation to a 40th year reunion of my graduating grammar school class. After 40 years, he did not lose any of his kindness and concern for the well being of other people, often asking about the lives of so many students. One of my fondest memories of Father Frank was...

"Frankie" was from my old neighborhood in Paterson, where we all grew up. I remember him during his seminary days when he was at Blessed Sacrament church. That was where he celebrated his first mass after being ordained. I will never forget seeing his most unusual chalice. He was truly a nice guy and I will always remember him for his beautiful smile. I am sad that he passed away and will always remember him. Rest in peace, Frankie!

I will keep all of the family in my deepest prayers!
