Frankie was one of my best friends. We sang together in the Marvalons Doo-Wop group. He was the best 1st tenor I have ever known. Frankie was a really good looking guy and always fun to be around with his upbeat personality. I still miss him and frequently look back at our pics in the 60's.

I was a little kid when I met "Franco" . He was a very charismatic teenager, with a naturally great singing voice. He was physically strong, and handsome. A natural leader with a magnetic aura. I'm glad we the chance to meet again years later, and reminisce. May his soul rest in peace.
