I was blessed to have Uncle Frank in my life. His birthday was the day after mine, I always thought that was special. I will always remember your laugh and how your whole face would light up when you smiled. You were a very proud man. I will never forget all the fun at Beaver Island State Park. All the picnics and family times spent together. All now cherished memories. Even though I didn't get a chance to say good-bye to you, I know the Lord heard my prayers for you. Love you Uncle Frank, till I see you again.

Mrs. Vivian Ricotta, I'm am so sorry to hear of your recent loss of Frank. He was a hard working and loving person. I can remember like it was yesterday when in my time of need back in Sept. of 1969 at Meyers' Funeral Home in East Aurora. Mr. Ricotta put his arm around my shoulders and said God takes the best and the brightest first because God wants the best with him in heaven. I didn't understand until a few years later. Mr. Ricotta always treated us kids like we were his own. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. We were all blessed to have had the privilege of knowing him and sharing many dinners together. God Bless to everyone in his family. Frank and Sue you guys are in my thoughts and prayers always.
