Frankie and I were friends many years ago and then reconnected about 10 years ago. I miss our conversations and his friendship. He had the best sense of humor of anyone I ever met and you couldn't ask for a better friend. Rest in peace my friend. I miss you.

My sincerest condolences to the Tranchina Family. May the God of all comfort (Psalms 83:18) help you during these difficult times.

RIP Frankie! I used to go to the Steinhouse bar in the early 70's. Frank was always great with the patrons. He loved his New York sports teams, and made the place special! God bless the entire Tranchina family.
