His stories, his sense of humor, his zest for life,the way he burst into song in the middle of a conversation, his love of family and his capacity to love those close to him was endless. He will be remembered with affection , respect and appreciation.

Words cannot express the depth of love and affection that we held for "Vic". Since I was a girl, "Vic" was just a part of the family, as you know.

Dear Cousins
You must surround yourself with the pleasant memories you have of Uncle Frank. He had such a zest for life that few of us do and was willing to share that zest with others. We shall never forget his enthusiam, his stories and his love for his family.
All of my treasured and warm experiences with Uncle Frank could fill a book.
