I was saddened to learn of Frank’s passing. I remember Frank from our Altadore days. We played football frequently at the park on 47th Ave. Frank would come over to our house often to visit my brother Larry. It seems like this was just yesterday. Indeed time passes quickly. May the Holy Spirit bring peace, comfort and blessings to all the family.
Forever I have said you are my most favorite person in the world… I share wonderful and loving memories from our teens to our senior years. Our families will forever be entwined in life , love and death. I will miss my loving cousin forever. Miss you, love you always.
Love ya,
Irene

Very sad to read about Frank’s passing . When my father had a major heart attack at the age of 39, I vividly remember Frank coming to our house and talking to myself and my three brothers to lift our spirits. Up until today I never appreciated that he was no more then 22 or 23 years of age at the time. I will always fondly remember Frank for that gesture of kindness. RIP and thank you. 🙏
