Dear Marie, Danielle, Michael and Fran:

It's hard to express how heartbreaking it is to see you all go through such a difficult time.

Fran -- I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose your only child. Our hearts go out to you.

Marie, Danielle and Michael -- We were fortunate to witness how devoted a husband and dedicated father Frankie was to his family.

Not to mention how he bonded with and mentored Ryan. You know how much he touched Ryan's soul.

I hope there has been some comfort for you with the presence of all your friends and family over the past few days.

Please know that you are not alone as you think -- we will always be here for you no matter what.

We love you all!!!!

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Frank for the past seven years. He was filled with incredible energy and passion for everything he did. He loved his family. He loved his work. And he loved life. He was integral in building some of the largest and most beautiful buildings in South Florida.

At work he could come across as a tough customer. But the truth is he was always concerned about the welfare of those who worked for him. Under his leadership, he mentored and groomed many young workers who are, or are becoming leaders in the construction industry.

He was equally concerned about the fair treatment of owners, contractors, and the vendors he did business with. For Frank, the difference between right and wrong wasn’t a trendy or fashionable statement, it was the way he lived his life.

I talked with Frank a few hours before his passing. We talked about work briefly, but as usual the conversation shifted to our children. After discussing the concerns and anxiety of raising a beautiful and intelligent Danielle in today’s crazy world, the conversation shifted to sports. He was especially excited about Michael’s upcoming basketball season, travel basketball and summer camp. Forget Shaq, Kobe or Jordan ... watching his son play basketball made Frank's heart and spirit shine.

My heart goes out to Marie, Danielle and Michael. Know this; your husband and father was a good man and loved you with all his heart. He touched the lives of many and he will be greatly missed.

Marie,

You and your children have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly since Lori called me with the news about Frank. My heart is sincerely broken for you and I can only imagine the pain you must feel. Please know that we all love you and hope that we can help you and your family through this tragic time. This is a true example of how there are so many things in our short lives that we have no control over.

Marie and the kids, When Ryan came home from school and told us about Frank we were, and are so heart broken. We can not believe this , but believe one thing God will give you strength. We lost a 7 year old daughter who would have turned 16 this year and God did help us.We pray you and the kids be blessed and if you need anything please feel free to contact us. Ryan and we have been so upset by this. Please hang in there and know that God in the midst of all will see you through. We love you and are praying for you. Love the Best Family
