Frank I. Solomon

Someone sent me the announcement of Frankie's passing and I was shocked. I grew up in Bridgeton and went to school with Frankie. I always felt his genuineness and considered him a friend. A few days ago, at the Class Reunion of 1968, discussions about Frankie's passing were in all pockets of the room, throughout the entire night. Even though I have not seen him in a long time, his death penetrated my heart nonetheless! He was a great guy!!

God Bless,
Office of the Lt. Governor

Mrs Solomon & Celia
I offer my sincere condolences to you both.
Frank was not only my fraternity brother in college but has been a great long distance friend for over the past 38 years. We had get togethers in California, New Jersey and other places , and as I kept moving from Pennsylvania to California to Florida & now Texas we always kept in touch. He was the best man at my wedding in Palos Verdes,CA in 1980 and Linda my bride of 28 years, and I will miss him.
I will always have...

Mrs. Solomon and Celia,
Maybe you don't remember me but I was a kid on Church Street who used to play in your yard with Frankie, and later was proud to call him my friend. Everyone said that Pete Solomon was irreplacable at the men's store and in some ways maybe they were right. But Frankie filled those large shoes very well. He was always a gentleman and treated everyone with respect. You could go to the store anytime and shoot the breeze with Frankie and never feel pressured to buy...

Celia and Josephine...I am saddened to learn of Frank's passing...my and my family's deepest condolences go out to you both and to all of Frank's extended family...I got to know Frank for the first time one good, gone year spring and summer, when he and I were teammates representing his Father's business on the local Little League diamonds...not only did I get to buy my first jockstrap for this activity (from the "Men's Store" of course, a full three year's before most friends would need them...

Like many i am saddened of (f)rank's passing. As i lifelong friend and neighbor i have many fond memories of growing up with frank and will always remember the sight of him and his famous red shirt.and the special song of long john baldry. The days of east ave/elmer street may be gone as is pete's men's store but the memories will always be cherished and live on.

Celia,
Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Mother with the passing of you Frankie.
May the memories of Frank and the good times comfort you during this time of sorrow.
Growing up on Marion Street and you from East Ave and Elmer St our old beautiful neighborhood back then.
Shopping in your Dad's store "Pete's Men Store" on Laurel Street near the Laurel Theater.

Good memories of the past.
Take care.
