Not sure what to say?

My deep condolences to Frank's family and friends. I never met Frank, and only today found out about him and today found out he had left us too soon. I actually found him through his beautiful guitar work on a Smithereens song, "In A Lonely Place". When I heard the song, which was recorded in 1986, and knowing how the band plays, wonderful musicians, but this was simply an acoustic touch that I knew right away didn't fit with the members style. So Frank, Thank You for making a beautiful song...

Again, Frank was a very talented musician and is sorely missed along with others classmates of Sacred Heart School recently deceased.

I saw Frank perform several times at the Speakeasy in New York City in the '80s, and at the Folk City 25th Anniversary concert. I loved his performances and still remember them fondly. I didn't know he died until I just looked him up to buy some of his recordings. My condolences to his family, and to his fans.

Dearest Brother Frank,
It's been 5 years since you left us but we feel that you remain with us in mind and spirit.
For that gift we are thankful. Miss you!
Love,
Bobby, Theresa, Marc, Michelle, Alexa, Nicole, Michael, Dylan & Avery

I can recall jamming with Frank in our little impromptu group back in the late sixties with Donald Sopranzi and Kenny Clark. Frank had talent; the rest of us were hopeless. Frank is truly missed.

i just got done listening to a Frank song....i went on line iand realized it will be 5 years since his passing...i took lessons from Frank back in the late eighties...a few years ago i drove by the block where he lived and thought, wow i wonder what is up with Frank...went on line only to find of his passing...my heart really did hurt,,,while i only knew him for a few years, that moment i learned he was gone, told me how much he impressed me as a good man..as we get older, memories are what...

Dear Friends of Frank,
Its difficult to believe that we marked a year on Christmas Eve since Frank passed. We want to thank everyone for your kind messages and reminiscences. Each have given us comfort and a sense of peace. Frank touched so many people in his lifetime and especially through his music. May his music and spirit continue with us all.
In loving memory,
Frank's Family

Frank was my school mate from 1958-1966 and wasn the lead in a band weformed in the mid 6o's. He truly was a talent.

Here it is 2013 and have just discovered this amazing musician. I am 50 years old. Sadly, 2 days later I am saddened to learn that he is in heaven. My condolences. It is just not fair.
