So sorry to hear about Frankie. He was my neighbor, good childhood friend, and classmate through high school graduation. As young children, we would go in the woods to turtle hunt, in winter build snow forts, have snowball battles, and sled ride. Very good memories from growing up together. My sympathy to his Family.
