Dear Jo, Billy, Maryellen, Sheila, Mike, and everyone who loved Frank, I am so sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of growing up across the street from Frankie. He was the sweetest boy, kindest man, and, simply, always a class act. This is a very sad day. Frankie will always be, and you are, in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Kath

I met Frank at the ripe old age of 18 when he made me wear that rediculous bow tie while working the door at the Comedy Connection. I didn't know then that those days were the beginning of an amazing 18 year friendship. There are so many great memories I have of Frank that it would take all day to list but each one involves laughter, smiles and joy. My first time to Las Vegas was with Frank, Joe Caliri and Noel O'Connor which is still one of the best times of my life. I have had countless amazing dinners with Frank and the crew drinking good wine and laughing at eachother. Who can forget the card games that went until the Sun came up and good ol' Frank who pretty much stayed in every hand somehow coming away with money? I smiled at his 50th party and was surrounded by so many great friends and family. Frank, you are the 1st close friend I have lost and I'll NEVER forget you. You touched my heart and my life. You would do anything for anyone at anytime and i honored and respected you for that. Underneath that tough exterior was a warm, kind soul. I love you my friend...my brother. I believe in God. I believe in Heaven. And I know you're in a better place. Your memory will be with me always... Love ya, Tony

I will never forget the day I first saw Frank at FireFly's...I had no idea how much of an impact he would make on us all. He worked so hard there and was always willing to give more. Since the day he left it hasn't been the same and never will. Frank used to play the lottery and say if " I win- we all win" and thinking about that I laugh because 1. I knew it to be true and 2. he had so many friends that he would of shared it with we all would of been broke! I want to thank him for reminding me what it is like to laugh and to remember to always make friends. I am so happy he got to see how loved he was and how his family never left his side. Those days in the nursing home he really did know his family was there for him and how much he meant to us all. My loving support goes to Frank's family and closest friends. May our good friend rest in peace now. I will miss him all the days of my life...

My deepest sympathy to the Ahearn Family. I started working at The Comedy Connection 13 years ago and even after I left, Frankie was still my friend. I learned so much from him. He was such a kind and generous man and he taught everyone how to live life and how to be a good person. He had a huge impact on me and I hope that you all know how loved he was by so many people. He will truely be missed. And to his nieces and nephews: He talked about you all the time and you were so special to him. He loved you so much! I hope you can find peace in the fact that he was such an important man who positively effected so many lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel very honored to have met Frank in May. John has told me so many stories about his uncle, and Frank's life is certainly one to celebrate. It is obvious that he lived life to the fullest, exuding a spirit of generosity and kindness. He touched the hearts of so many, and he lives on in each and every one of those individuals.

Dear Ahearn Family, Please accept my deepest sympathies at the passing of Frank. We attended grades K through 8 together and Frank used to stop by the house to play wiffle ball after school. He was always a great guy and he'll be missed. Sincerely, Tim Kane

To all "Frankies' " Family, I was so,so sorry to hear of Franks passing. Rick(Poe) called when he first got sick and I followed his progress. I ha talked to Rich(vibs) Vibberts about going up to see Frankie when he was better. I am soory I didn't get there sooner. Frankie was a great roommate, he always had your back, no mater what was happening. He was the first one to offer help, no matter what help was needed. Always a smile, I will never forget that smile. His eyes would squint, his cheeks would rise, whenever he smiled. It was great. The 3 years I spent with Frank and the boys-Bobby Currie( brothers Peter and Paul not to far behind), ,Jay St Jaques, Dan (otto) Johns, Matt Quintanna and Rich(vibs)Vibberts will always be some of my best memories, some might not be able to be repeated, still very good memories. There was only Frank and I am so proud so call my Friend. God Bless all of you.
