My sincere condolences to Frank Jr.,Jen, Frank's grandsons whom he adored and his sister Dolores. Being one of Frank's cousins and being close in age and lucky enough to have lived not far from each other we got to see each a lot growing up.Coming from a big Italian family there was much celebrating to do.
There were so many cousins, aunts and uncles so we had a lot of birthdays to celebrate, which included much eating and sometimes Uncle Tom and aunt Grace's operatic renditions would be included. Frank was like all the rest of us he loved music and dancing, lots of talking (of course we all talked at the same time). To this day I still don't know how we all knew what each other was saying, but we did. When we were teenagers and he would be visiting we would turn on the stereo and dance. Our family memories will never be forgotten. I am so happy that we are cousins and got to share the happy times together.God Bless you Frank and I promise that you will never be forgotten because we will keep those memories alive as we aways do. I hope to dance with you again! Rest in Peace You are loved

Frank's my cousin of course I knew him all my life he was sponsor for my confirmation and as far as I can remember he was always a good and giving person. We work together for a couple of years in a clothing store and we needed a good salesman would give to gab and at that time I told the owner I have my cousin Frank he's a real good guy so Frank came in and he helped out I believe it was three days a week. And you know him being the older cousin and in this big Italian family of ours he mainly was with the group of cousins that were in his age group and I was with cousins in my age group. And I'm glad that as we got older we became closer and closer. He had a great zest for life and he loved dressing up he loved his hats he dressed to make himself happy he dressed for him and nobody else and he was a sharp dresser and he knew where to get deals. I remember when his sister had a Christmas party two days before Christmas and Frank's wife very beautiful and always very elegant wasn't feeling herself on that day. And when it came time for me and all the rest of the cousins to sit at the table Frank went over and helped his wife out of her chair to come to the table and he did it so gentle and caring and she said oh you don't have to make a fuss and help me I could do it and he said no when I was ill you were so good to me and took care of me so well it's time for me to take care of you. That really touched me cuz there was such sincerity in love that was showing through both of them at that moment unfortunately the next day Deb went to the hospital and was never able to come home again. I think Frank was so lucky and I told him this many a times he has a wonderful daughter and son-in-law. And he knew that. Frank was blessed with two grandsons Kevin and Cody they were his life they brought him complete Joy. And there's his sister Dolores his older sister who like any Italian sister watches over her brother and like my sister who talks to me like I'm 10 years old but I say that in way of caring and loving. God bless you Frank we will love you and think of you always. Until we all meet again you'll always be in my prayers and thoughts
