Antonina and Maria, I wish to express my deepest condolences to you and your family. Frankie will be missed. I fondly remember him playfully teasing my daughter Domenica as he always called 'Sunday' whenever he came by to visit at my Mother-in-law's place. Always ready to perform, Frankie was a true magician and handler of a deck of cards, but what made him special was his easy going manner, a spell that he cast like no one else in the room. Addio, Frankie. - Posted by: Don Burroughs (Friend of Frank and his family) on: Dec 14, 2013

My heartfelt sympathies to Frank's family. He amazed me by remembering every car, make and model, who owned it, for how long, and how much they bought and sold it for. He was wonderfully kind to my kids and yes, he dazzled them with his card tricks. God Bless you, Frank - we will miss you. - Posted by: Mark Stutski (Friend) on: Dec 12, 2013
