Frank was bright, serious and joyful starting from his days on Hill Street, in New Haven. He was exceptional in sports, especially baseball. Ah, to be born Italian and grow up among Italian families, like the Carangelo's, the Facassso's, the Real's, the Bataglio's, etc. was both a pleasure and an education. So long, Frankie. Have a safe journey. You were great while you were here.
