Frankie
High School Graduation 1963-1964
Frankie was living in White Plains, New York and working as a butcher when he died at Fordham Hospital in the Bronx on October 28, 1973. He was only 28 years old. We do not know the circumstances of his death, but his death certificate lists "Pending Chemical Examination." A cause of death will be listed as "pending" on a death certificate whenever someone is found dead and the immediate reason isn't obvious. These can include suspected suicides, murders, drug overdoses or accidents. We may never know why Frankie died so young.
