Was thinking if Frank and by chance found his obituary. I only wish I had the opportunity to be with him once again. We attended Iona college together. He was like an older brother to me. He always looked out for me. He was so very smart and loved aCatherine / off the charts. God bless him. The last I saw him was in Fairlawn NJ at his first home. We enjoyed an afternoon with Frank and the lovely Catherine. After all of these years I still remember him. I only hope this message reaches their children. Bert & Donna Savoia 845-641-6007

"A whiskey glass, a shapely lass will make a horse's ass out of my son Francis! That's what my mother told me." That's how Frank introduced himself to our Tuesday night dinner meeting in 1985. From that moment on, I knew there was a human being in there. He was the only accountant that I have known that had an entrepreneurial spirit, a sense of humor and a joie de vivre. What a man. He stayed with me, often, when I lived in Pacific Palisades and we would discuss life and its intricacies over many pints of Ben and Jerry's. Whether we solved anything was immaterial; it was the friendship that counted. We would go over our successes and mistakes and attempt to put them in perspective and move on to the day ahead. Something good usually came out of it. Frank knew how to be a friend. That is an art. God, rest your soul Francis. John
