  4. Frank, was the best nan at my weeding in 1982. We loved music and enjoyed drinks and dinner at the Hilltop in Saugus. We shared many insurance company and client stories. My heart goes out to Rose and Frank’s family, which he truly loved. How appropriate for Frank to enter the farmers of heaven on Easter Sunday.
    Love you Frank

  5. My condolences to Frannie’s family and loved ones. We grew up in South Boston and went to High School together. We had a lot of fun playing ball in the school yard and cards wherever there was light. He was the only kid I knew that could play chess; at that time, it was remarkable, as he was. Lots of spirit and personality!
