I'm going to miss our phone calls and visits. You will be truly missed Frank. You were more of a father to me than my own. You and Doris are my family. We will meet again. Until then give Doris a hug for me. Love you buddy. Jeff
My Dear "Uncle Frank", There are no words to express my sadness, now that you have left us.
You were loved by all but especially by me...
You stood for me at my Baptism. You were even there, when we decided to get married, we were so young but you supported our decision, you even paid for our hotel room.
I hope that you are with Aunt Doris, I am sure you are smiling from ear to ear!
I am sure my Dad was right there when you passed over to quietly hold and hug you as tight as can be.
I will miss my daily, "Hi Lee Lee", Goodnight Sweet Dreams Babe" "Tell Wally I said GoodNight"!
All my Love Always,
Your "Lee Lee"
My dearest Uncle Frank, you will always be in my heart. Thank you for share you love, kindness, gentleness and laughter. I am so blessed to have had you in my life. So very happy to have been able to share your 91st Birthday. It gives me comfort that you are now with Aunt Doris, the Love of you Life, and your beautiful daughter. Thank you for all the memories I can hold onto. See you on the other side, all my love, Linda
Uncle Frank, You were the definition of a gentleman, there was nothing you couldn't build or fix, you were amazing with animals, the most devout husband, a good son, a loving brother, a true friend. You always had a smile followed by a kind word, maybe it was the "altar boy" in you but I believe it was just who you were. You were born a hard worker from your early years loading pies and sandwiches at Horn & Hardarts, supplying gladiolas from Florida to the Northeast, running a restaurant in Miami Beach, threading hats for the Stetson Hat company or running your own business "Cottrell Home Remodeling" you never stopped working. I love that you built the home you lived in, that you taught a canary to shower in the kitchen sink, that you had a german shepherd named "Prince" that followed your every command, that you had a mural on your living room wall. You rarely asked for help but were always there to give it. There is so much more to you than words can justify. Uncle Frank this I can tell you from my heart you are so truly loved and you will be so truly missed.
