Retired military, after serving twenty years in the USAF, Frankie remained a fighter. Against all odds, Frankie survived two massive strokes in 2007. His determination was attributed to the sheer Will, Love, and Devotion to his family. Cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him, Frankie’s family and friends are grateful to be blessed with the time that was shared, and the opportunity to say goodbye as we expressed our love and gratitude. Frankie took on many roles, and will forever be remembered as a strong, loyal, and devoted Husband, Father, Brother, Friend, and Mentor.
Frankie is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Elizabeth; daughters, Valarie, Norma and Adelfa; his son, Eric; and brother, Larry. Frankie will forever remain in the hearts of his family, his beautiful grandchildren, and close family friends.
Memorial services will be held at 5:00 p.m., Thursday, September 15, 2011 at Almond Tree Christian Fellowship, 4115 Avenue D with Pastor Saul Avila officiating.
