I remember when Frank started at the Post Office in Mays Landing. He was a bundle of nerves. I got to train him on his first route. He was a pleasure to work with and a real fun guy. He would come over for dinner at times and play our three boys when they were small. He was funny and we would go to union meetings together and talk about antiques. We will miss him. Bob and Trudy

Frank , Franklin, my little Wanderer , who’s phone am I going to fix now , who’s going to come visit me when I’m working because yet again you forgot a password, :) .. Jay and Schtickles will miss seeing you, who’s going to bring home dolls with missing parts , who’s going to greet me with a hug when I come to the house , and you are sitting 12” from the TV and the volume is on 100, because you wouldn’t wear your glasses ! We always knew where each other was, with a simple text “HUGS” was you tag line… every meal I made you, and your favorite dark chocolate brownies with peanut butter icing … I’m going to miss you so much.. I’m not going to have anyone to pick on, and I’m going to miss seeing your last few sips of your drink in the fridge with Saran Wrap in the morning … you always had a smile on your face !! You will be missed by so many , you were a special person who touched so many lives, I’m sure you’ll find a great thrift store in heaven….

Frankie,
Currently im Rehoboth for a week of vacation after seeing you this weekend. Each time I go to the beach, Purple Parrot, as well as other restaurants and bars, I think of you and all the funs times we once had here. Still can't believe you won't be here again at Rehoboth Beach with us. Who is going to listen to my corny jokes or laugh when I say it smells like thrift when entering the Thrift Stores? LOL
I'll never forget you and your kind demeanor! You are a very generous soul!
Missing you already!
Love,
Johnny

Frankie,
What a tremendous son you were to your mother, Ann! Every trip we took, you were instantly on the phone letting her know that you arrived safely and updating her on plans for the three of us. You would get off the ferry and into my car in Lewes, DE and immediately update her. Then later that night, you'd give her a run down on what we did that day. Ann is blessed to have you as a son.
I still laugh when you never used the foot petal on my trash can. It was a knee jerk reaction as your's at home never worked. I'm proud to have given you my working trash can, the perfect gift. LOL
Please say hello to your father and step-father in heaven who I unfortunately never met.
Please give hugs to Ronnie, Steve and Shirey, Theresa Gibson, John's mom (Barbara Strom),Rick Elster (stay up all night talking and drinking with him), the Eastwood gang (Cindy, Bill, Blade, Jeff, Midge, Gloria, and others)!
God bless you!

My dearest friend, Frankie, you will never know how much you are missed by so many! To say, "To know you is to love you!" is an understatement. You shine bright with everyone you meet and there is no sweeter person than yourself. You are my friend, third amigo (along with John) and our constant traveling companion. Wherever we go, you quickly make new friends as you have a genuine interest in learning about others, never about yourself! Our trips to Rehoboth, Owasco Lake, Provincetown and even my family events are full of fond memories. Your smile and laugh are infectious along with your love of potato chips! Everyone wants to see Frankie when I show up anywhere with or without you! You listen intently to everyone else's stories regardless of content and never forget the details when reminiscing about them again in the future.
I still have fond memories throughout our friendship starting with me getting off the Boston to Provincetown Ferry and meeting you for the very first time. We immediately clicked and made plans to ride bikes on the trails, head to the beach and frequent all the pools. The first time you met members of my family, I dressed you in a tuxedo and had you pretend to be my butler to welcome my family members. Ever since then you have been welcomed to all family events! Trips to Owasco Lake and all the themed parties, you, John and I were always a trio! You helped make (or should I say eat and or lick the bowl) all the pudding shots too! Sitting by the pool at Eastwood of Provincetown you emersed yourself into everyone's lives with your smile and wit!
The Thift Stores are going to take a huge loss in your absence. It was always fun to drop you off, give you a time limit which was a necessity and eventually see what you bought: a guitar with no strings, a lamp with no shade or electrical cord, or several chip teacups. It didn't matter to you as you gave them a new home, like the Island of Misfit Toys! Will never forget when you bought John's grandmother's China plate set that he just donated a few days earlier to a thrift store in Upstate NY. "What's in the bag?" I asked, and you responded, "I think I just bought John's Grandmother's China." We laughed so hard! My letter from "Hoarders" from A&E Entertainment brought many laughs too!
As previously mentioned, your love of potato chips is fun to watch as you will certainly share but also enjoy just eating the whole bowl of chips by yourself (see attached picture which is a favorite). Of course, we cannot forget all the China Buffets and Seafood Buffets we've shared meals. Your consumption of food into such as small body amazed me! You always got your monies worth in crab legs, clams, and sushi! It will be hard to go to any of our favorite restaurants without your presence. It was fun to sit and eat at the bar with you too as you always started up a conversation with anyone next to us. When I am at Saketumi in Rehoboth for Happy Hour, I will continue to look for the band member of "Poor White Trash." Met him once and we never forgot him!
Thankful that we spent time together recently over the past weekend. In a short period of time, we laughed so much! It's hard to believe that I will not be picking you up or dropping you off at the Cape May-Lewes ferry anymore or threatening to take you there regardless just in fun when it wasn't time for you to leave!
You have been such as great friend! I have known others for longer but because you are such as special friend, I feel like I've known you my entire life! God Bless you and please don't spill any potato chips up in heaven!
