Another link to the family is gone, but precious memories will hold you close as if you were here.
I didn't know then but know now that you were the "Santa Claus" on Christmas Eve for all the young cousins(many of us), making the noises, pretending to be on the roof, thinking we were asleep at Uncle Tom and Aunt Estelles.....those were the days. You were always smiling and always happy. Family was your priority! Thanksgiving will always be in my memory with the great food and great family times at the house. Those memories will continuously live on.
So many wonderful thoughts of a great, loving uncle. I only wish my children knew you like I did! You will be missed but remembered always. Aunt Mary, you have another guardian angel looking over you. Phil, Bobby, Cathy, you were blessed to have him as your Dad!
We love you all and will miss Uncle Frank's smile!
Love you always,
Rina, Ciro, Olivia, Alexa and Aimee

We were deeply saddened by the news of Uncle Frank's passing. We have so many happy memories of him. My most cherished memory was dancing the Lindy Hop with him at my wedding! My family and I will always remember his wonderful smile and his contagious laugh! We truly loved him and will miss him so very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

OUR MEMORIES OF CHEECH

My first memory of Frank was on Christmas Eve 1953. A total stranger grabbed me, bent me over and kissed me. WOW, how can anyone forget this beautiful man. I cared for him so. Many beautiful times followed. VENIE
My favorite memory of Frank was of
him working on my 1947 Chevy. He opened the hood, got inside, and was standing on the ground...a very funny sight of him changing spark plugs. This man, though married to
my sister, became my brother not my brother-in-law. DOM
We love you Frank and may God take good care of you.

My sister could not have been married to a better man.

A great husband

A great Brother-in Law
A Master FIxer upper
A fantastic man.

Hi All,

I will always remember the Christmas Celebrations, as we stayed up through the night and early into the next morning, all of us together, eating, laughing, and telling stories. Me falling asleep in the Calamari. Frank always had the job of figuring out how all the toys were put together. The memories of these times are the fondest ones I have.
He is part of who I am.

We have lost some giants in the last few years and He was one of the biggest. I know the feeling. Another light goes out and life seems a little dimmer. How important the rest of us become.....

On a lighter note, I remember the last time I was in Arizona and had a great day swimming with Frank and how he really loved to swim. Just He and I. I remember how calm and peaceful everything was in that pool with him. This is how I want to remember Him. God Bless You All.- LOVE YOU - BILL

I first met Uncle Frankie 41 plus years ago on Easter Sunday at Nanna D'Amico's. Both him and Aunty Mary welcomed me into the family with so much love and joy. He was a such a happy go lucky guy, a joy to be around.

Both Joann and I wish we could have been in Arizona to be with all of you. Our prayers are with Aunty Mary, Phillip, Bobby, Kathy and famlies as they go through the weeks ahead. He will be missed so much.

Love,

Nephew Andy Noel

Uncle Frank was a very special Uncle to me. I always felt so fortunate to have such a loving and caring Godfather. I cherish all the wonderful times we had together. He truly will be missed.

There was no one like Pop and he will be greatly missed. He was a kind and respectful man, always ready to help where he could and had a great sense of humor.

I will always remember Uncle Frank as a kind, caring, and intelligent man.
I would always give him a kiss hello when I saw him, and once he said "your 20 years old, and you still give me a kiss!" I will always remember those warm hello's.

Spending time at "Aunt Mary, and Uncle Franks house" was always lot's of fun.
His knowledge of all things mechanical was, and still is an inspiration to me.
We will miss you Uncle Frank. You will always be in our hearts, and on our minds.
Love, Joseph, Claudia, and Philip
