Frankie was my first friend, I was his first cousin. He was 30 days older than me, a fact he NEVER let me forget. I have spent my entire life with him in it, and me in his. I will miss him forever.

I loved Frank so much, along with his wonderful family. He was a leader in his family and a father figure until the end. Godspeed to you Frankie. The Cubbies will never be the same now that you are gone. So glad you got to see them win the World Series!

My friend "Frankie the Clown". Frankie was a truly courageous man with big heart. He loved to make people laugh. He was a kind soul. You will be missed!
