Francis "Frankie" Antonello

Frank was blessed to have a mom who could cook some traditional Italian dishes., The aroma was unmistakable Lasagna with homemade sauce. On occasion she had Family over but on other occasions we were invited to dine at the table. I might be Irish, but I had an Italian stomach. I was treated to a feast, on these occasions. I know Frank will return to his mom with her meal on her heavenly table to see his friends gathered there who we called the crew awaiting him. We had so many funny times together, my first trip to Hawaii was with Frank, We combined Las Vegas and San Francisco before flying to Oahu. Boating on Oyster Bay was always a treat as long as we had the all-important can of starter fluid for the engine! Florida was a short 1200 miles away in his Corvette. We alternated sleep shifts and in 24 hours we were on A!A soaking up the sun. Have a brew for us Frank, we’ll miss you.

Our deepest condolences to Patti

Frankie was my Uncle, the best Uncle, I lost touch with him for years but he had been on my mind since Friday and I decided to search him up last night only to find he passed on Friday, the day he was in my thoughts. I can’t say to him what I wanted to say now but maybe me writing this will put it into the universe and he will know: Uncle Frankie the best memories I have were with you and Aunt Mary, you never left us as kids and were even there for me when I wasn’t always doing the right thing….getting sober and focusing on doing better I lost touch and I always regretted that, I never got to say thank you and how grateful I was that you were there and lead the way for me getting clean and sober….it’s been 28 years and I will always credit the start of that journey to you. I haven’t seen you but just knowing you’re gone my heart hurts so much, I’m full of regret for not reaching out all the times I thought of you. Those thoughts were filled with such love and gratitude. You are with Nanny, Poppa, my mom and Michele now, please give them all hugs from me, I love you and until we meet again you will always always be in my heart.

I leave my thoughts my laughter my dreams you whom I have treasured beyond gold and precious gems.
I give you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together.
The tender, love-filled moments, the successes we have shared,
The hard times that brought us closer together
The roads we have walked side by side.
I also leave you a solemn promise that after I am home in the arms of God, I will still be present, whenever and wherever you call on me.
My energy will be drawn to you by the magnet of our love.❤️
Whenever you are in need, call me: I will come to you
With my arms full of wisdom and light to open up your blocked paths
To untangle your knots and be your avenue to God.
And all I take with me as I leave is your love And the millions of memories of all that we have shared.
So I truly enter my new life as a millionaire.
Fear not, nor grieve at my departure, you whom I have loved so much,
For my roots and yours are forever🙏🏻♥️
