we have a picture of Nina and Frankie and Albert on the sidewalk of Grove Street Brooklyn and Frankie is holding little baby Peter……he always told me in a boasting way : I carried you home from the Hospital !!!!!!!!
Love you Frankie…….you drove me around in your 66 Mustang….we sat on the stoop at 76-62 172st….you came home from work at the WTC with a 6 pack of Schaeffer beer ….you drove me to Lake Success and bought me my first slot care racing set !!!!!…..miss you Frankie…..i bought a motorcycle because of you and I bought a red TR7 because of your red Mustang…..and the Bongos from Puerto Rico….made me a drummer !!!!…love you so much ……xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo…..Jimmy and me hope youre up there in HorseShoe Heaven playing with GrandPa..!!!!

Growing up with my older brother Frankie we were fierce rivals and this too many times would cause friction between us, but in our hearts, we would go to battle for one another’s protection and wellbeing.
On one specific occasion I was being chased by this guy twice my size and strong as a bull if he caught me, I wouldn’t be around today writing about how my Big Brother saved my hide. Thanks again Bro!
We played rough together, but I always took the ride to the hospital. stitches to the head, broken left arm another time, but I loved him, nonetheless.
We served in the military same years, ’61 – ’65, me Air Force he Navy, in uniform together we would
meet in S.C. hitch hike have some good fun together, he looked sharp in dress whites, even caught
Margaret’s eye in Puerto Rico, later to be his bride.
As in the past years Frankie, keep one good eye on me from up above, till we meet again,
eternal rest in peace. Love you.

I am very lucky to have such a great family. We always take care of each other. When you have a life so great you would like to live it over and over, but that is not possible. Maybe in heaven yes. Thank you Uncle Frank for all those good times. Playing with my cousins and brothers was so much fun. Days you never wanted to end. Swinging on those U.S. Navy hammocks in the backyard in Hicksville. Rye Playland and Cantiague Park. Going out on your boat from Oyster Bay and hanging out on Bayville Beach. Sweet memories!
