Ginny,
Susan and I recently heard about Frank, and we were really saddened. I have many fond memories of him. He was a friend and a great support for me. It was unfortunate that we did not keep in touch with each other as we progressed through life.
Best,
Jerry

Dear Ginny:
I just learned of Frank's passing
from Roy Bruder, etc. Patty and I
send our deepest sympathy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with
you and the family. As you know,
Frank was my best friend in college.
I remember the day he met you at
Rutgers. We all had so many good
times and memories together. It's
hard to put the sorrow into words.
God bless you!
Love, Paul & Pat

It was with deep sadness that I learned of Frank's passing. We shared many fond memories as classmates at Lyndhurst High School. I had the pleasure of meeting up with him again at one of our class reunions, many years later. Frank was still that same wonderful, warm and welcoming person, I had recalled so fondly. May he rest peacefully, in God's loving arms. I send my sincere sympathy to Frank's family and to everyone who treasured his friendship. - Anita Rullo Burgey

Hard to express my sadness about Frank's passing. Our conversations at Stellina's were few but very friendly, funny and always involved food stories, tastings, recommendations. A good guy.
Thinking of you,David & Michael....
