When I got to Chalmette High School as a freshman, Frank was a senior. I was scared of him because he was so much bigger than me. Boy was I ever wrong to be scared? Frank ended up being my protector all that year and became a good friend. Gonna miss you Frank. Rest in peace my old friend.

Hi Lela. I don't know if you remember me or not but I was good friends with Frank. My sister saw on Facebook that Frank passed away and I just wanted to reach out to let you know how sorry I was to hear that. I have often thought of Frank through the years and have often searched for him on Facebook. We worked together when we were in high school at the Winn-Dixie on St. Bernard Highway. I have nothing but fond memories of Frank. I wish I could attend his services however I currently live in the state of New Mexico and just can't make it. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

It's been many years since I have worked with Frank, but I will always remember his sense of humor, and the kindness he showed me during a difficult time. He always took time to speak to every associate and customer. He was a good example of how a boss is supposed to be. My sympathies to his family and friends who will miss him every day.

Frank was a great friend that I always enjoyed spending time with. He always had a great story or a joke to tell, and always had time to talk. He will truly be missed.

To my long time friend and Paran to my son Ashton. I cannot believe that I'm writing this about you. Each day many tears are shed. My mind is flooded with memories but it is still not enough. You were a wonderful , whole hearted and unselfish person. We are all so lucky to have you in our lives. So many thoughts of us hanging around your house filled door to door with family and friends and still inviting people in, singing your heart out and making us laugh. Jackie, you were a wonderful, dedicated care taker, companion and friend. He was so lucky to have you just as you were to have him. We love you Frank. Miss you everyday , Tina, Aljohn, Ashton and Andre Chimento
