Lost my best man at our wedding 51 years ago, but our friendship stared at Saint Nicholas grade school well before that. We both had daughters named Nicole. He just wished her well 8/6 for her wedding. We were part of our old crew! Joey, Michael,
Tommy and the cheese man Mike. To be honest, Mike kept us together. Shore house, boating, fishing were always part of life.
A friend that if you didn't talk for awhile, when you did, it was like yesterday. His parents were adopted as ours. We called Mildred! Mom. It's true when you needed someone to talk too, he was there. We all share a thousand stories. He will be deeply missed.
No pain and visiting with family in heaven. Our hearts go out to his family. Frank Capone
