Frank "Frankie" Carbone - Online Memorial Website

Yo Frankie.....................You were my cousin through marriage, but to me I felt like we were blood relatives.  I remember when you and your family lived around the corner from us in Medford.  If our oil burner went down at 3 a.m. you were there.  When your cousin Frankie(rest his soul too)lost his business, you put in all the plumbing upstairs in our house so that we could build an apartment for extra income.  I remember when you drove the Mr. Softee truck in the summer, you would pass by our house at the end of each day and we all had free ice cream!!!!! Whenever Tyson was fighting on HBO you came over and we all watched it together until we all pooped out on the couch.  I remember all the stories about all of you going down to Jilly's. It was you, Tara, Phil, Frankie, etc. etc. raising hell all the time!!!!! And the 27 emails or more every day, what can I say. Janice and I were to visit you this summer, Janice couldnt wait to meet you. With alll that being said, may the Lord hold you in his arms and embrace you as you did for all of us.  Look down on all of us, guide all of us, especially your son who will miss you so.  Give your cousin Frankie a kiss and a hug for me, memorial day would have been our 40th wedding anniversary. I miss you so much, especially your laughter, it was contagious!

Until we meet again,

Cousin Linda

My forever friend,

We were first loves and went through so much together. I truly thought the demons that haunted you so had been laid to rest but I guess they hadn't. Frank, no one knew you like I did. You always held a piece of my heart and I will never let that go. Your zest for life and your fun loving ways always drew people to you and your loyalty kept them there. You are going to be missed by the people that truly knew the gentle soul who loved animals and wanted to please everyone. I am so glad our relationship was the loving one that it was because for the most part you really never meant any harm you just got into something that was too big for you to handle. I will miss your laugh, your stories, your crystal blue eyes, old times and most of all not being able to just pick up the phone and hear "Frankie Rumble Bumpers" on the other end. I am so sorry it ended this way Frank. You are now with your mom who loved you dearly. She will care and love you now. Rest in peace, my forever friend. I will never forget you. 

DEAR FRANKIE, YOU ARE A GIANT AMONG MEN! I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY! WHEN WE SPOKE LAST WEEK, THINGS WERE GOING PERFECT FOR YOU AND I HAVE TO ADMIT I ENVIED YOU! YOU LOOKED AFTER ME SUCH AS FAMILY ALWAYS DOES AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT! WE RAN THAT PLACE WITH AN IRON FIST AND A SOFT WHISPER AS MEN OF HONOR AND RESPECT ALWAYS DO!

 YOU MEANT THE WORLD TO ME, AS A BROTHER, FRIEND AND CONFIDANT! YOU ARE AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART AND PAYERS. YOU GAVE ME HOPE WHEN I WAS DOWN. I REMEMBER YOU CONSTANTLY SPEAKING SO EXTREMELY HIGH OF YOUR SON AND HIS SINGING CAREER, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD, HE HAS DONE VERY WELL. I WILL BE THERE FOR HIM ALSO. WE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN OUR LIVES AND WERE SUPPOSED TO "RETIRE IN PEACE", NOW MY BROTHER MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND REST EASY THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND KEEP YOU IN HIS GLORY AND HAVE MERCY ON ALL OUR SOULS!! I LOVE YOU FRANKIE, ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG! GOD HAS PROVED THAT ONCE AGAIN.

TO THOSE THAT DID NOT KNOW FRANKIE, HE WAS A GENTLE GIANT WHO MADE MISTAKES JUST LIKE THE REST OF US DO. FRANKIE AND I BOTH DID AND WE PAID THE PRICE.  BUT WE TURNED ALL EVIL INTO GOOD AND MADE THE BEST OF OUR SHORT LIVES. WE MADE A COMPLETE TURNAROUND! SO GRAB THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE, CALL THEM OR DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO AND TELL THEM THAT YOU LOVE THEM BECAUSE ONE DAY IT WILL BE TOO LATE! I WILL MISS YOU FRANKIE!!

{LUV YA CUZ, PETER}

To Frankie's son Frank, who I know never really got to have his dad in his life and I am so sorry that happened to you; I only knew your dad for the last couple of years but in that time we became very close friends and more, so much more I had to hoped to have with him... I believe he really wanted to have you, Frank, back in his life, he wanted so much to make up for the past and give you everything and more now. I wish so much that he and I could have been closer and maybe things would have worked out different; I pray that someday you'll be able to forgive your dad and remember him with love.
