Barbara, Karen, Jimmy - We were so saddened to hear about Frank. He was one of those people who always made you smile and feel good. I'm sorry we haven't been closer in recent years but we really enjoyed knowing all of you back when we lived on Druid Hills. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

Coach Ammirati left an impression on me that I have carried my entire life. He loved the game of baseball but he loved his God and family more. Earnie Davis TBT Titan baseball team C/0 1978

My heartfelt sympathies to the family of Frank in their bereavement of his passing. Although Frank and I were never close friends, he indeed carried himself with lots of warm friendship for everyone, and one just felt that he was one of those rare type of individuals that would lend a helping hand to just about anyone, regardless of how close that friendship was. He will certainly be
missed by all who knew him, which had to be many.
With deepest condolences,
Robin Morland

My condolences to the Ammirati family. Frank and I were BHS 61 classmates. Frank was widely known in the Canal Zone as a superb baseball player. He was always friendly to those of us who tried just as hard to play, but were not as gifted. To our class he will always be a champion.

Dear Ammirati Family,I am saddened to here of your loss.Frank was a man's man and someone especially looked up to by underclassmen like myself. I had the pleasure to sit next to Joan in at least one class too. I never met anyone who didn't like Frank Ammirati. Please take comfort in knowing that his dues are paid and his slate is clean and new. May Our God and Father remember Frank in his coming great resurrection.A prayer of comfort by God's Holy Spirit through his Son for the Ammirati Family. Franz Berg BHS 63

We were very sorry to hear about Frank's passing. Even through the family's daily email, which was very spiritual, loving, and optimistic, one could sense that Frank was slipping and that he would not survive. Our sincerest sympathies to a very loving and caring family.

So sorry to learn of Frank's passing so young.
He was a year ahead of me in high school and I can still see him in his baseball uniform. He was friendly and well liked.
May God give you peace and strength in your grief and may your memories keep him with you.

What sad news hearing of his passing.
I played baseball with Frank and we were teamates on the national championship team representing the panama canal zone in 1957. Also fished many times with Frank and his father at Amador causeway.
He was one all around nice guy!
My sincerest condolences to his family.
May he rest in peace.

Coach Ammirati was just an incredible person. He not only taught me how to drive in Drivers Ed at TBT but taught us how to respect others and was a true example of that in both his walk and his talk. He will be missed but never forgotten. Mrs. Ammirati and family we will keep you in our prayers during this difficult time.
In Christian Love,
