Dear Gerry, Frankie, and Richie,
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Frank. Although it has been many years, I will always remember the warmth felt in your home, especially around the holidays. He was a very special person who always seemed to have a smile on his face. I consider it a privilege to have known him. I am thinking of you and your family.
Sincerely, Gary

Dear Gerry, Frankie and Richie: I learned of your loss today and am deeply saddened. Frank was like a second father to me growing up and as I got older he became a great friend and mentor to me. Although as the years passed we all seem to go our own ways in life, but it's the people you get to meet along the way that touch you and make a difference in your life that one tends to never forget. Frank was one of those people for me and I know he left a mark in alot of peoples lives and he will certainly be missed.

Gerry - There are no words to express our sadness. What a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He fought long and hard, and will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
