We will all miss you Uncle Frankie, the times and memories we had shared will not be forgotten.  Your bbqs were the greatest! I took some tips from you! From watching the giants win the superb owl with you to going to your 4th of July BBQ having a cold one after a long day at work.  You always invited everyone over with open arms. You surely will be missed. You are loved and always be loved, until we meet again Uncle Frankie rest in peace 🙏

I will miss you always and forever my big brother

Frankie, 
I can’t believe that you are no longer here with us. Frankie was someone who was always so welcoming and would do anything for others. Frankie and ellie were our rocks when dad passed and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you for all the great memories we made over years. I will never forget all the bbqs, the Christmases, & our trip to FL where you got on all the rollercoasters with me and melissa at Seaworld😂. I will cherish these memories for a lifetime. I also want to thank you for loving my aunt ellie unconditionally all these years and being her person. Rest in peace Frankie tell dad I said hey up there. Until we meet again🤍

Frankie was one of a kind💙. A wonderful son, brother, father, uncle, pop pop, friend and role model. He never turned his back on anyone and always listened and lent great advice. Frankie was man of virtue and fortitude with a heart of gold. He loved many things such as exploring the outdoors, an ice cold beer and firing up his grill in the summer, and his NY Giants, but most of all, he loved his family and friends. He touched the lives of many over the course of his life, and all that knew him can agree he loved like no other. He would go to great lengths for those he loved and made you feel seen, safe, and appreciated. I’m honored and grateful to have met and gotten to know such an incredible gentleman. I’ll miss him tremendously. I’ll especially miss the way his eyes sparkled when he smiled, his laugh, and big bear hugs. 
I’ll treasure our memories forever ✨Frankie✨
Until we meet again 🤍 may you rest in peace.

As a kid growing up I can always remember Frank being around taking all of us to the park or getting us food. Frankie was a great family man and always made sure everyone was taken care of and never felt left out. Frankie always threw down on the grill and him grilling every summer will always be how I remember him because he was always his happiest when family came together whether for events or just a random weekend. Frankie was there for us when Irv passed every step of the way because of the good hearted man he is and how much he cared about his family. Love you Frankie you made a big impact on a lot of lives and will be truly missed by many. Thank you for always keeping the cookie jar full for me 🍪

Ellie and I grew up together and she is like a sister to me. You all know that when someone loves your family member, they win you over. Frankie won me over! The love he showed for Ellie and her kids was priceless. The love he showed for Irvin’s (RIP) family was priceless. He had a sincere, genuine love for the family. He loved family gatherings and always made sure everyone was taken care of.  He always put others needs before his own. I remember speaking to him about 2-3 weeks ago when Ellie visited FL. He was in the hospital and all he wanted was for Ellie to have a good time. He told me she was his ride-or-die chic. I told him she was my ride-or-die  chic and made him crack a smile.😃
Frankie my dear cousin, you will be missed. Know that Ellie will always have a home in FL with me. May you RIP with our heavenly Father. Until we meet again. ✝️

I met Frankie back in 2012. I went to NY to see my childhood bestie/sister. He was very kind and welcoming man. He was a good friend, dad and partner for her and the family. He brought out the best in them. Even when they  came to visit me in Florida. He was the same caring man. I must say it was an honor knowing him and it was a  privilege  to have him in our family. Rest in peace fam. You will truly be missed. Until we met again. 👼😇👼😇

Dear Frankie, my heart felt heavy with sadness when I found out about your passing.  I still can't believe you are no longer with us. You left an emtiness in our hearts and our life will never be the same. I want you to know is been an honor for me to have you as my son-in-law, you are a beautiful soul created by God and chosen by my daughter as her life long partner. Thank you for loving and taking care of her and thank you for a been wonderful father to my grandchildren.  Rest in paradise my dear son.

Uncle Frank words cannot express how much I love and miss you. You were and are such an amazing man who took care of everyone you met, you’re an amazing older brother , father ,  son, grandad and uncle to us all . I will miss your bbqs I will miss seeing your smile and hearing your voice. I love you forever. Thank you for being with me when my world felt like it fell apart. Please continue to watch over us all .  I know you’re with everyone up there .  I know this is not goodbye but see you later … I love you so much and will keep you with me always.

To my uncle, I will never forget all of the memories we have but what I am most thankful of all was that you were there for me at my absolute worst, and you pushed me to get better. And you were able to see me at my “best” and come back from difficult times. I wish that I could go back. I’m sure we all would. You are the best uncle I could ask for and I know that life not be the same again, but we will do the next right thing.

I want to share a condolence with the entire family. In my eyes, it is one of the most devastating losses. My Uncle Frankie was an amazing man, father, brother, Uncle, and so much more. It does not feel real and I will miss him for the rest of my life. He was always there for us, and he was always kind to those who crossed his way. We will keep his memory alive and continue to push forward like he would want.

It's not supposed to be this way bro .  You're supposed to write something good about me . I told you I need you at my funeral so atleast I knew one person would say something nice about me .  The one and only man that mattered . The one man that would every single year buy me school clothes so I could" keep up"  and every time I would thank you your response was " no problem bro one day you will repay me " well I never got to repay you but I hope I can do it by being the real man and great father you always showed me to be . I'm sorry it took so long to do it but please believe I always remembered what you told me about what a real man was and watched you master it always knowing I could never be as good as that but I wanted to try and do my best with my kids . I'm so proud to be your little brother and will think of you every day of my life . If there is such a place I know mom is telling you Job well done and if so keep the coronas cold and the bbq hot cause I can't wait to see you again my brother I love you forever.

Frank, words aren't enough. I've lost a brother, I've lost a soul brother, I won't have someone to laugh with when I walk into a room now,  the joy has died a little more. You were too good for this world, too good hearted to share this place with the rest of us. I'll carry our memories till the day we meet again. Remember this brother.  No more.

I miss you more than words can explain. 
I feel like you were the first bestfriend I ever had. You always had my back even when i was in the wrong w mom.  I’m grateful for all the funny memories we’ve created over the years, like when we read that tape helped mosquito bites stop itching so we wrapped me in tape because  I had so many then had to pull it off 😭😭😭 instant regret but you just laughed at me & all I could do was the same. Or when i tricked you into eating dog treats saying id try one right after 😂😂😂 then after you did it I said hell nooo 🥹 i know that dog treat was gross 😂 
I’ll miss your jokes at the wrong times, like when we were on the way to a funeral and you asked why people don’t party in cemeteries & you said you had to die to get in 🤣 Horrible timing but you always made us feel better, You made everything better. You’re the light of our family. 
I’ll miss staying up watching movies while you just rub my head, well I’m sure you enjoyed the movies while i slept because i never made it through to the end 🤣 
But hey honey 👀 All dogs go to heaven 😊 So we goodddd 🤭🤭🤭 until we meet again 😘
I love you always my honey 🥹🫶🏽
Your cocopuff 💕

You will always be remembered from the fun we all had as kids and the many pranks we pulled to the Christmases and bbqs we all had.Most of all is the son who lives on to share all those memories with.Many times I look at Anthony and see you.You will live on in all of us!This isn’t goodbye Frankie, I will see you again. Love you,Tee.

The most giving, loving and thoughtful man 😔 R.I.P Frankie .. Thank you for all the great memories & all the delicious chicken marsala & bruschetta with mozzarella you used to love making for our family.  So grateful for you and how you loved everyone and how you were always there for my family.  You will be missed dearly 💔
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me”.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we’re together again. ~Unknown
