This is funny. I especially laughed at the Ivy League schools to which ole Frank attended. Also how you had to mention his predeceased because those he was survived by wanted to remain anonymous. I might have had a few more pallbearers due to the fact he was going to have to be buried along with the concrete slab he was found in to preserve the integrity of his body. But that's just me. No kidding -- this was great. Thanks.

Carol, this is hysterical, funny, and oh so well written. Am still laughing my friend.
I can't go into enough rapturous compliments, it is just so funny. Your writing is the epitome of what I will aim for, so clever. No spags, just lots of laughter and enjoyment.
Good luck in the contest,
Warmest regards and hugs
Marijke

    What a flatterer you are ...your poetry and writing is grand and you don't ever have to underestimate it's worth. Being married long ago to an Italian and his family for 23 years, I probably learned a lot of things that I wished I hadn't...LOL

    Been talking to Mel (melyuki) on skype...We've become like family. So now when I read your reviews and hers, I read it with an Aussie accent in my head...It makes it so much more personal...Though Mel says I'm the one with the accent.

    This is great. Thank you for the marvelous review and for enjoying my humor. Smiles to you, CArol

This is hilarious. I laughed all the way through it. You have done a masterful job delicately and subtly describing Frankie's not so dull life. I think this is a terrific entry for the contest and I sincerely wish you all the best.

You never fail to amaze me with your stories...

I began laughing at the beginning and continued till the end...Still laughing as a matter of fact..

I loved the part about being granted communion because of his donations..

This flowed really well and your captivating words held my interest throughout...

great job and good luck with this,,,

    Thank you very much for enjoying this little obit...I wonder if I could get a job at the newspaper helping people write them...On second thought, probably not! Smiles to you, Carol

Very well orbituary. I laughed all the way through it. This is very entertainment, insightful, funny, historical and it creates an interesting view of some of the bigger funerals.

Good luck in the contest.

I believe you have created a funny obituary for the contest. I especially liked the ending. It was the fitting final touch to this bereavement exercise.
Well done, Buck

You remind me of one of my favorite books, The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. Was the coroner's name Luciano? Thanks for a fun read. Ray.
