Frank, you were so much about what life is about. Your living moments touched the strings that vibrated in others and I felt always inspired in your presence to get up an go with living whatever the challenges might be. My sympathies to your family, lovely wife and children can only begin to express what you represented in their lives. Only to say that carrying Frank in our hearts can help us get through our lives each day with the same sense of vigor and vitality.

My condolences to all of the DiLella family for the passing of Frank. He was the finest example of the devoted husband and father. I met Frank in 1977 as a young man working at Sharp and looked up to him as a role model and a father figure and most of all a friend. He was the hardest working man I have ever known. The definition of a hard working American. His legacy will live on through his fine children Frank and Mary have raised.
Yo Pal, we will miss you!
