To Robert and Jerry and Family;
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you on this day. I am so very sorry that I can’t be there with all of you, but trust the fact that my thoughts and prayers are there with you.
Since I received the call that your dad passed I have been reflecting on some of the times during my childhood and teen years that had fond and fun memories of him.
I even recall the years back on 50 Oliver Street when uncle Joey and my mom, my mom’s sisters and aunt Tessie and Uncle Sal use to hang around together, that crowd use to keep things pretty upbeat and fun. They, at times staged some crazy moments.
I’ve been also recalling a few times in my very early teen years when Uncle Joey was just dating Aunt Jo and they both would, on occasions during the summer evenings go to Coney Island and they would take baby Lee and me with them. We enjoyed that because we felt they were young and cool.
I also remember the last time I spoke with him, it was my last visit to NYC and it was at your house Jerry and he and I did some reminiscing at that time also.
I know this can’t take the place of my presents with all of you today, but I hoped it helped, because I know it helped me.
God bless you Uncle Joey and may you rest in the peace of the Lord.
Love to all
Frankie Boy
