I miss you Frank very much. You cared and helped me as I did likewise. Losing a friend so unexpectedly when you seemed  healthy... I recently visited the Elk Grove Art Center where you showed art in previous years. 

The director was sad to hear he is gone.  She had wondered about his non-participation. His artwork was much appreciated and admired. Frank, my dear friend, I can no longer visit with you in Elk Grove but I will always remember you in my heart.

We're so sorry to hear of Frankie's passing.  He was a beloved member of Northern California Publishers and Authors (NCPA), in Sacramento, but we had lost contact with him.  NCPA member Chrissi Villa called recently and asked if I knew what had happened to him, since they had a working relationship with writing, and publishing, stories for children, and he hadn't been responding to her Emails or phone calls.  I did a search and found this extremely sad news.

I had purchased a few of his fairytale books several years ago, for my granddaughter, even though she was too young for them at the time, because his illustrations were so beautiful, and she loved looking at the pictures.

I'm just sorry we didn't know sooner.  Frankie will truly be missed.

Frankie, my brother, I’m going to miss you so much.  You died too soon. We had so many plans that we can’t do anymore.  I will miss your new art creations, your cooking, you’re checking up on me, and just knowing that I had a brother to rely on whenever I needed him.  We won’t be able to reminisce about old times.  You were the only one who knew my stories. God bless you and rest in peace. Until we see each other again.  I love you.

To my cousin rest in Peace you were a great artist and story teller wish I would have known you better. Tell all our family in heaven we love them.

Cousin .you will be missed last time I saw you was when you were a teen . sorry I didn't get to know you but saw your art and books.you are with your mom and all your uncles and aunts in haven.rest in peace cousin .

I'm still in shock that you're gone.  My heart goes out to my Uncle Kiko and my Cousin's.  Frankie was one of a kind, no other like him.  So gifted in so many ways.  I'm so glad I shared a special bond with you Primo.  You will be with me forever.  Now you are back in your Mothers loving arms, and you have joined my Dad, and all of our ancestors in Heaven.  You will be greatly missed Frankie, more than you'll ever know.  I love you Cousin.

I’ll always remember the first time I saw Frankie’s art. I was blown away, and felt very proud of him when as a high school student, stated that he was going to UCLA to study! We’ll also remember his smiling face when we ran into him at the State Fair (I think he was exhibiting) and before that at the Boardwalk where he was a ride operator while attending UCSC. RIP cousin, God Bless you and your family.

My Deepest Condolences to my Tio Kiko and Primos 🙏🏽Gone too soon Primo Frankie 🕊You were a good man, very talented artist and author. You will surely be missed. Forever in our Hearts ♥️ Now Reunited with your mother, Rest In eternal peace with the angels 🕊🙏🏽
