We’ll miss you Vito.
Yes, Frank was an excellent barking spider wrangler. I was a witness to a few wranglings. He was able to snare the silent but deadly ones with great skill.
Frank, I’m going to miss you.

Frank, your wit and wisdom will be greatly missed. Always a kind word and always the creator of a hearty laugh for everyone – you made the room a brighter place simply with your presence.
My brother-in-law and friend, Frank, who nicknamed me “Hale-Bop” after the crazy comet cult group and would sing it to the tune of “um-bop” by that teeny bop group as soon as he saw me. I will miss that and so many other witty things about you Frank. I still can’t believe you are gone but I hope you are with your mom and dad. And that you are in peace with no more pain. We will never forget you and Trey will know about you. We love you. Haley
Frank was one of the smartest and wittiest persons I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I, and my fellow employees at Lockwood Greene, will miss him dearly.
Frank, you will be sorely missed. We love you and miss you. RIP.
I only knew you via Live Journal on the Net. But over the years, I grew to care much aboutfor you.
Rest now in peace. You will not be soon forgotten.

I loved Vito for the essence of life he had. He taught me wine appreciation and how to play chess. He touched my life and even though I haven’t seen him in 18 years, he has been a part of my life every day. May God see the light in his soul and finally let him have peace. Bless you, Vito.
I’m terribly sorry for your loss. Frank was a wonderful friend in high school. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
To his family and friends: Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. I well remember Frank’s outgoing and genuine affection for those who knew him.
Know that to live in hearts you leave behind is not to die.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Frank’s death. We graduated from Tate together and I well remember his huge grin and affable manner. I have been thinking of his family and close friends with great empathy and continue to keep you in my prayers.
DLI, Goodfellow, 2d Radio Bn… too many memories. Rest in peace my friend.
It’s hard to know what to say at a time like this,”I’m sorry for your loss.”or some such sentiment just seems weak,and pale in the face the mind numbing grief that you all must be feeling.
Even though I only knew Frank for a short time,a long time ago,I
We can not believe that Frank is gone. We will miss him greatly. Our love and sympathy to Ruben, Haley, Pam, and other family. Charlie and Eileen
Intelligent, articulate and driven, Frank was one of my favorite people in the world. Not a day goes by I don’t wish I could share something with him or hear his perspective.
He will be missed, by his family, by his friends, and by the Republic.
Goodbye Frank. When the roll is called up yonder, you’ll be there.
I just learned of Vito’s death today from a mutual friend from our days in the Corps. He was a great friend who was always there to help me when I needed it. He was always so full of life that it is difficult to comprehend that he’s gone. Semper Fi, Vito. I miss you.

You are still dearly missed. Of course you already know.
Oh the people, family and friends you are enjoying up in heaven are a blessing, but I’m partial to those of us left on this wonderful earth. Memories are still a comfort. I have such a wonderful life now after 9 years. I’m finally smiling again. I sometimes think that you are assisting in choices I make down here. You have helped me in so many ways that a simple thank you never feels enough. I’m glad you were my life and I’m glad you are still in my thoughts.
Take care of yourself.
Forever your Noldie’
Love always,
Pam
