Frank was always was a wonderful older primo. Always lookin out and thinkin of others. I was thinkin back the other day about him. I remembered a memory when i was probably about ten years old or so. Frank had come to my house for a lil week vacation. There was one day it was very hot, so the whole famliy decided to go to the local swimming pool This pool was the cities olympic size pool so it was huge. there was tons of people in the water.I used to be so scared of the water cuz it was so deep and me feet were not even close to reachin the bottom. I stayed in the shallow side and Frank stayed right with me. Finally he was itchin to go the deeper side, and i said i wasnt going to go cuz it was like 9ft deep. And what does Frank do, he picks me up and puts me on his back and says ur goin lol. And he carried me on his back hte whole time in the pool and held my hand and said dont worry i wont let go. Then he started jokin sayin that i was good to have around cuz it makes him look sensative to potential girls in the pool LOL. I remember that day so clear, me this lil skinny kid and him being my human lifesaver all day lol.
When Frank left to Iraq the first time, he emailed me and asked me to write him letters. I wrote him a letter everyday . I told him if you get tired of my letters just let me know and ill slow them down. We communicated through email and snail mail. He would send me pictures from over their and i would send him band stickers and he would send me pics of him with them on.
I would tell him bout my potential boy crushes and hed tell me "just let them know you got a big cousin in the army so they better watch out"
There was this time I was goin in for surgery or some kinda stay in the hospital. And Frank actually called me all the way from Iraq, thats a dedicated primo right there.
Frank was a great big protective teddy bear, but if anyone messed with family better watch out.
Frank is a hero and wonderful person that I am proud to say is my familia. He was everything you could ask for in an older Primo.
I love you and miss you dearly.
