Diane,Jill,Rick and Family.

We are deeply saddened by the untimely loss of your Husband and Father. As you know I met Frank in 93 or 94, Fishing (of course) on Cape Cod. I was in the water (not catching a thing) and there was a man up on the rocks of the jetty at Sesuit Harbor.He was catching fish. So i decided to go up and see why this guy was catching fish but i wasnt. As i got close to him he said Hello and asked how i was doing and if i had caught any? I said no , and before i could even ask he began giving me tips and explained how to catch more fish. Most people ive met fishing dont want to give up any secrets, but then they arent like Frank. Well i enjoyed fishing that day and decided to come back the next day. And Frank was there, again he was catching fish but i wasnt, and again i ended up joining him on the rocks of the jetty.We fished together that day and as we talked we found out we were almost neighbors and that we both worked construction.After that we became good friends and we would always call each other up just to talk about Fishing and Cape Cod. Frank was such a great Fisherman and a great and talented StoneMason and Bricklayer.Anytime we talked he would always listen and lend advice. I respected and valued his opinions very much. He was a very smart man and a True Gentleman.We shared a great passion for fishing and Cape Cod.He always tried to give me tips and show me Where,When and How to catch more fish at the Cape, but he would ALWAYS tell me to be careful and look out for this and watch out for that, he wanted to make sure i was safe over anything else. Because of Frank i had one of the best days of my life!! Last year at the Cape,I was able to take my 12 and 8 year old nephews out on the Brewster Flats where they BOTH caught their FIRST fish from the Ocean. You should have seen the SMILES ON THEIR FACES as they fought and caught those fish. Its a moment that those 2 boys and i will remember forever and i owe those memories to Frank. For these and many other reasons i will miss Frank alot. He was a true friend and my Cape Cod Fishing Buddy. I will think of Frank often especially when im out on the water doing what we both loved so much. I know he will be watching , guiding me safely and helping me catch that Big One we always talked about.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all and comfort you always.
Yours in Friendship,
Gino,Debbie and Bailey-Ann Madaio

Dear Diane and family,

I grew up across the street on Cuyler from Frankie and Louie who were among my childhood friends. I remember Frankie as a great kid and we had many, many good times together.

Please accept my sympathy.
