Oh Frank, 
I know you are resting in peace.  Just got your Christmas Card.  Always a wonderful delight to get those every year since we met, has to be over 40 years ago!  You were always a wonderful friend and confidant, one easily talked with, and certainly, your knowledge of baseball and stats when we went to Sox games was just fantastic.   You saw me through my ups and downs, and I can certainly say, you knew what being a true friend was all about.  
Your love of the holidays was really true and unique.  You were so proud of your home, your yard and the way you decorated would make Martha Stewart jealous!  
No one you ever encountered throughout your life can ever say bad about you as you always did your best, and was the gentleman one can always admire. 
Rest in peace, but then again, I know with your faith that is easy.  Now, say hi to your mom and dad for me, and to your family, I extend my best and my condolences.


I was deeply saddened to read of Frank’s passing on Facebook today.  I met Frank at Lane Tech and have been friends since.  Attended many White Sox games with him, including meeting at road games.  Last saw Frank at our 50th high school reunion last year.  Frank was always full of energy and excitement.  He was my best man in my wedding.  Frank was always great support to his Dad, and especially to his Mother and Stepfather John Rossi.  My condolences to his family and Partner.  I will dearly miss his kindness and support

So sudden and what a shock!  Frank and I were friends for well over 40 years.  We met in the MG club.  We are both huge White Sox fans.  Rest in Peace Frank!

So sorry to hear of Frank's passing. He was a true friend. I met Frank in college and was always struck by his humble demeanor and honesty. I counted him among my dearest and closest friends. He was always willing to share his time or help his many friends in any way he could. And always the avid White Sox fan. But his baby was the MGB club, and he was totally devoted to that. He went above and beyond as a friend and will truly be missed. Rest in Peace my friend.

So sad at the loss of Frank.  He was a dear friend for many years.  We met in law school, he was a friend, roommate, we invested in real estate together and started the firebird club.  He was best man at my wedding and was pall bearer at my mother’s funeral.  We took many trips including MG conventions. Life took me in other directions and we drifted apart but Frank had big impact on my life. I am forever grateful.  God bless you Frank you were a good man and will be missed.  You impacted many people. Safe journey my friend

RIP dear Frank. Your passing makes me very sad. 

Our almost 40 years of friendship started at Union Carbide but doesn't end here.  See you on the other side.  

Jerry and I send our sincerest condolences to your family and friends.  

Frank was our attorney for many years. He was a great friend of my late husband. My condolences to his partner and family. Michele Law 

To all Frank’s family and friends-
I knew Frank for over 40 yrs. We worked on the AMGBA  together. He was a kind friend, to both myself and my children Joanna, Glenn and Jeff.
With Bruce  we used to put on MG conventions all over the USA or go to  more local car shows in our little “B”s.
He was an extremely hard worker-
especially keeping the AMGBA going.
He will leave a big hole in my heart. I hope God is watching over him with love.
Much sympathy to Frank’s family.

So sorry to get word of Frank's passing. I talked to him on the beach for several years, but we did not know that we were both graduates of Lane Tech until we met at the 50th reunion in October of last year.   It was just this past November 1 that I sent him a photo of one of my professional events.  

My sincere condolences to his entire family and to ala those who loved him. Peace to his memory.
