My Uncle Frank was the greatest. He nicknamed me "Happy" the first day I came home from the hospital. Every time I saw him he made me laugh. I always felt loved and cared for in his presence. He loved to make people happy through laughter. He was great at telling jokes. I already miss him dearly and will love him forever. - Antoinette Elliott-Diskin
