"Hi Frank, John and I just came back from seeing you (not for the last time) because we know we will see you again when we are called home to be with the Lord. I?m going to have my hands full for a bit because John is and will continue to miss you...you are his bestie. I?ll still be here standing by him, letting him reminisce stories. ? Frank, John was very grateful and proud to be friends with you. The last night he saw you, he came home with tears in his eyes. He knew you were going home. ?? It is no secret you will be missed by so so many. Thank you for your friendship Frank. Rest In Peace ?
Ada, Amy and family.....my deepest and most sincere condolences. I hope your many wonderful memories help you through this difficult time. Frank is in the arms of our Lord. Love, Cheryl. We both love you.

Tributes
"Dear Ada, Amy and family, Without taking a new count I believe we were all blessed with about fifty cousins from our grandparents, Nunzio and Nicoletta?s 12 children. For me, Frankie not only held the title as the first born cousin but also the most handsome, the coolest and the kindest. We didn?t see each other very often but when we did, he always made me feel special. I remember as a child in the back seat of my mom and dad?s car going to see Aunt Edith and Uncle Frank. Back then, the trip seemed so long. Cherry Hill to Blenheim! Go figure! So fast forward and here we are and all of them are in heaven. I?m so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Frankie. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Love, Carolyn "
"Frankie, an honorable man, a brave man and a true friend. A man who truly lived what he believed was right. So happy you were my friend. Celie"
"My cousin Frankie was one of my heroes. Always kind, interested and interesting. A wonderful husband to Ada, a loving father to Mark, Nancy and Stacie, the perfect grandfather and his sister Amy's loving and supportive big brother. Always there for anybody who needed help or a kind word. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed but so fondly remembered. Take your rest Frankie. Your work here is finished. Martin"
"I enjoyed going to the races at Vineland and Atco with Frank, I helped by driving the pickup truck to push start his car in the early 60's. Frank taught me how to repair my 55 Chevy after I wrecked it and I will always be thankful for him including me at the races."
"I have the fondest memories of time spent with you and the whole family "back in the day." So many laughs, warm summer days, lots of good food and above all family love. May your memory be eternal in the sight of God and your soul dwell with the blessed, Cousin Frankie. Love, Trudy (Pietropolo) Ellmore & family"
