Happy Fathers Day daddy. Thank you for all your wisdom you are truly missed by all. Love you so very much!
Dad thank you for your time. It is the best gift you can give and you did so with everyone in your life. Your jokes could get your mind off anything. I remember you would tell me " as you are I once was as I am you will be." I remember you preaching that too me.
We had many good times together didn't we. Rest in peace my old friend

I have known Frank since I was 20 years old, or for close to 45 years. I met Annie a few years later when they started dating. It would be difficult to find a more loving couple. I feel so fortunate that he and Annie have been my best friends for all that time. Frank could always lift my spirits with a joke or two, sometimes at my expense. Like the time he tried to convince my daughter (his goddaughter) that I was really older than him. He told her to check our faces to see who had the most wrinkles. And she ignored me and started checking for wrinkles. How could I not laugh at that? Even though I moved away in the 80's, I've always considered F&A my best friends. I will never forget all that Frank has meant to me over the years. God bless him and all of the family.
May God look after you, as you looked after me throughout my life ❤️ I am so very blessed to have had such an amazing Godfather! Heaven has gained another Angel. I will always remember you. My favorite memoroes are with the tadpole pond in the back yard, living next door to you. The children and I have been raising some tadpoles of our own here in our backyard with those fond memories being the inspiration. Until we meet again, All my love.
