I will always remember his positive outlook in all circumstances and the joy you seemed to possess that came from your soul! We all loved you so much and are grateful your were such a big part of our lives!

Frank was a wonderful neighbor who was an integral part of our Soundmeadow community. He was always willing to help the community. Frank would always offer a wave and a smile whenever anyone walked by his home, and he enjoyed taking time to talk with his neighbors. Frank and Elinor will be truly missed.
Rest in eternal peace, Uncle Frank, you will be missed. Thank you for being the best God father!
Rest In Peace.
I have many fond memories of Uncle Frankie, most of which I can not put on here. He was always a jokester on the job site. Very generous, a mentor as well as my Godfather! I will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace. He was Loved!

I have known Frank since my early teens, when I connected with him Family. Later in life I married his brother Michael.
Frank was kind, caring, laughed and joked. He ALWAYS made everyone comfortable.
I will miss Frank more than I can ever say. Especially our Sunday night phone conversations where we laughed out loud.
I will miss him more then I can say he will always be in my heart! I love you Frank. Till we meet again
Lover your sister-in-law Rose
MR. FRANK CAN LIGHT UP A ROOM WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND AND A SMILE SO BRIGHT IT WOULD TOUCH ONES SOUL. A MORE LOVING AND GENEROUS MAN IN LIFE I HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE HIM. RESPECT TO THE LOVE HE GENEROUSLY AND TRULY GAVE TO MISS ELI,HIS SON,DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, SISTER, GRANDCHILDREN, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE CARE AND CONCERN HE WOULD OFFER TO THOSE WHO MAY HAVE NEEDED IT, HE ALWAYS THERE TO OFFER HIS HELP. HE IS A PROUD MAN WITH EVERY RIGHT TO BE BUT ALSO SHY WHEN GIVEN COMPLIMENTS. WHILE IN THERAPY WE WOULD GET ON LIVING ROOM FLOOR LAUGHING BUT SERIOUS DOING HIS EXERCISES TOGETHER. HE WOULD HAVE TO HELP ME GET ON MY FEET!! I WISH I CAN SEND HIM A BOWEL OF OATMEAL AND BLUBERRIES UP HEAVENS STAIR WAY. I WILL MISS OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS AND HOW HE REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING MY DOG JOEYJACK RUN AROUND HIS YARD AND FOLLOW HIM AROUND THE HOUSE. ON HIS LAST DAY I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE SAID GOOD BYE TO HIM. DOING HIS BEST TO LISTEN AND TALK WHEN I MENTIONED JOEYJACK ‘S NAME HIS FACE LIT UP AND HIS EYES OPENNED WIDE. I KNOW THEY BOTH HAD A LOVING BOND. BETWEEN EACH OTHER. TEARS FILLED MY EYES AS I BELIEVE IN HIS EYES AS WELL. SO MANY FUN STORIES TO TELL BUT NO ROOM HERE. I AM HONORED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM. I WILL MISS HIM BUT AT PEACE WITH MISS ELI NOW I WILL BE COMFORTED KNOWING HE IS WITH HER FOREVER NOW. HE HAS TAUGHT ME MORE THAN I REALIZE. TALENTED, SMART AND FUNNY AS CAN BE ,MR. FRANK WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN! THE MEMORIES I WILL KEEP FOREVER , BOTH OF HIM AND ELI. MY PRAYERS ALWAYS WITH RESPECT AND LOVE SINCERELY.
