Cousin Frank was an absolute joy. He brought humor into our home! When Frank and Betty would drive from Chicago to Milwaukee to see us, my mother would prepare a lovely meal, and we would enjoy an afternoon of laughter and love. Frank and Betty never visited us empty handed. They always brought something. If it was a pizza prepared by their son, Jeff, or travel photos of family vacations, or plain old conversation. You don’t get any better than that!

To the Ginex family:
We will miss Frank very much. We had so many great times together. He was the master story teller and a comedian and was loved by all. We will never forget the times Frank and Betty would call us when we lived in Milwaukee and asked what we were doing, and within a couple of hours, we were all having a wonderful time together, eating, drinking vino, telling stories and enjoying great times. Those truly were the days. My father, Steve Mattana and Frankie were cousins but in my eyes were more like brothers.
It was a gift that we called Betty and Frank last Saturday to wish them a Happy New Year. Frank called us back and, in his usual humor, disguised his voice with an accent. I, of course new it was Frank. We were able to speak with Frank for one last time, and he sounded so very happy.
I remember Frank's stories about the foot massage he gave to the hygiene deficient man and to teach this man about hygiene, Frank proceeded to give him a facial massage following the foot massage. All priceless humor.
We will miss him, but will remember him with smiles in our hearts.
We are sorry for your loss,
With love,
Christine and Carol Mattana

Our deepest sympathies for the loss of Frank. We will always remember his smile and his sparkling eyes. He was so kind to us and our family. We enjoyed seeing him on the road trips he and Betty made and hearing his stories about how things were done in earlier days in Chicago.
We wish we could be with you.
