I have lots of memories with my Uncle Frank especially when I was little. I would be the beer runner when the guys would play poker. I remember taking a sip out of his beer and him saying to me give me that as I made a sour face. He said so how did you like that. Then they all laughed and said I wonder how many she did that to us and started laughing! He was so kind and caring to all of us. One thing I will never forget ever in my life is when we were at my aunt Rita's funeral my dad Joey said to me I won't be able to handle to see my brother Frank pass before me it will kill me as he was crying! Well I know that my dad was waiting for him with open arms as he passed before uncle Frankie. That is true brotherly love
