I had the pleasure of hunting many years with Frank, his son John, brother Ralph and buddy Vinnie up at Round Top NY. Their stories about Staten Island will live with me for ever. Sad passing of a great guy!

Mr. Lucarelli was a great guy, war veteran, NYPD detective and one of my closest friend's Dad. He always had a great sense of humor and nice things to say. He was from a generation that worked hard, stayed out of trouble and enjoyed family life. He surely will be missed by all and Nancy and I send our heartfelt condolences to his family. God Bless him.
