To Kelly, Vince and Linda,Frank was always a man of great Dignity and Pride, and he left us in the same fashion. I"m saddened at losing him, but he always lived by his terms. He might have been "alittle" stern at times, because he always wanted the best for you. Blessing to your family, He is an impossible act to follow!Rest assured he can see clearly now, and boy does he have some stories to tell!!Love, Janine

My thoughts and prayers are with you. When I think of your dad I always remember him flooding your back yard for an ice rink! Growing up on 28th St. in the 50's really was our "Happy Days!" You were an amazing son, Vince. Blessings to you!
