I have been so sad, since learning about Frankie's passing! I have so many fond memories of him - he was always there, when he was needed the most. Even though he wasn't a man of too many words (lol), his presence, alone, was all you really needed, in order to know he cared. A handful of months ago, is when I was aware of him leaving us...I Am still mourning the loss, and I wish he had more time on earth, in order for me to say goodbye, and to let him know how important he was to me and my family. I can't even count on one hand, the amount of years he was a part of my family's and my life. Thank you for everything, and may you forever rest in peace.
I Am so sorry that I didn't come back to visit you, Frankie - I Am so sorry that I was too late. You will be forever missed, and I'll never forget you.
:(

I had a lot of good memories of Frank. I worked for his brother and sometimes his father, so often I'd see Frank at the YC or at famous Zoe's 7 listening to jazz. One of my fond memories: His brother would say, "Hey Dave. You hungry? Come along, I'll pick-up Frank and we'll head for some late-night Chinese." We ALWAYS had a great time on those late-night food runs laughing at some of the funny things people would say and do. Frank loved things mechanical and technical--tools, locks, keys, etc.. Sometimes it took a little time to get to know Frank as often he was quiet, studying you first. But the compassion was there. I recall Frank upon the passing of his dog Blue--the tears just welled-up in his eyes and I saw a different side of Frank. That was years ago. About 10 years ago I made a surprise visit to Frank at the YC and he asked, "What made you come back for a visit?" Now THAT too was characteristic of Frank. He had some insight into people's personalities/motivations along with a dose of curiosity. I told him, "Fond memories of friends, Frank." That was sufficient for establishing "you were ok"...for next came the technical, "I've got this electronic thing that does this...can you look at it with me?" That was Frank....BTW: Hey M, I still recall too the first time I met you when you brought me those Long Island Ice Team mix on a hot August day to enjoy. Peace and Love to all, Dave

Cleaning and sweeping everywhere. Frank and Marina always made sure we had a perfect time in Wildwood. We will never forget him. He will be in our hearts and prayers forever. Marina we love you.
Love JoAnn and Bob

Every day since Frank has passed I've been thinking about all the great memories he and Marina made possible for our family. I'm gonna miss Frank's BIG hugs, talks in the office, and being blamed for bringing the rain with me from PA! Lol! No one will miss Frank nearly as much as Marina but many will miss him greatly! Rest in peace Frank and say hi to dad❤️❤️❤️

You were ready to go home, but our hearts weren’t ready to let go. You given my kids a place to call home every summer for the last 30 years. I pray god holds you tight in his arms and lets you sit in the big beach chair in the sky. I loved you and will miss you dearly. Rest In Peace my friend.
