My Uncle Frankie was a wonderful man. He was very caring and a very religious man. He prayed the Rosary everyday in his chapel where he used to live. I have fond memories of taking him grocery shopping and out to his favorite restuarants. He loved the French onion soup from Bennigan's. He also loved the mostaccholi from Olive Garden. When he went to the nursing home he made many friends. He had always been independent prior to being in the nursing home. However, being in the nursing home he made many new friendships. He learned things that he would never have if he was alone. I will miss my Uncle Frankie greatly. He will remain in our hearts forever.

Uncle Frank, we will miss you!!! Frank was a very religious person who would prey daily. He had a chappel and had religious artifacts including an alter in his house. Frank really enjoyed helping others. Anyone who visited him in the Nursing home would know this by the countless awards and pictures he displayed in his room for doing so. Frank was very proud of this and I am proud of him. We both shared our love of music... Even at our last visit, Carol and I brought him some CD's that he enjoyed! I have many memories of Frank, one that comes to mind is when we went backstage to meet Bobby Vinton and he signed autographs and took pictures with us. Frank enjoyed spending time with his family. I know he is in a better place and no longer in pain. I am glad I knew Frankie Benevelli!!!
