Uncle Frank was be deeply missed. So many fond memories I will cherish , the days when all the family will be together and uncle would be there with the goodies. The house in Cicero especially, the family picnic. All the time he would come by my Moms and she would cook for him. Will miss the heck out of the remarks that we still lived in Pilsen. A truly Great man and will truly be missed. He is now with family where there is peace and love.

My deepest condolonces to my cousin Kevin and family. My uncle was a very special man, and will forever hold a special place in my heart, just as my aunt Bonnie does. I have many many treasured memories of them both. Truly I seldom think about one without the other. I think of sunny days on Lemont street and Gigi and board games and smile at the memories. Prayers are with you Kevin, Julie and Sara.
