In honor of your father Frank DeSimone Vapor Corp just made a donation to the Mesothelloma Foundation.
We are all so sorry for loss.
Dad, this candle is for eternal life. I was so sad to see you suffer, you are in a better place now. I love you so much.
Frank, you have been my guidance and my mentor since the day I met you. You thought me how to be a man soon after I lost my own father, Gaetano a few years after I married Angela. You have been a friend but, most of all, my Father because we have shared many great moments throughout our life. I will miss you dearly.
Dear Carla, Tess, James & Family,
My heartfelt condolences for your loss. May his soul rest in peace. I hope you will always share fond memories of him. I will continue to pray for you all. Please know I am here for you during this difficult time.
Deepest condolences,

Hello Lisa Ang and Carla –
I wish I had been there during that time. I missed saying good bye to him and it hurts my heart every day since I found out. I loved him dearly. He was such a good friend and conversationalist. I will miss the hours we talked.
Prayers to you and my friend Frank – you are truly missed
Still missing you Frank and always will my friend. I think of you often and I am thankful to have had you in my life.
Miss you.
Went to NYC this weekend and had a heavy heart thinking of you. Miss you my friend, our talks, laughs, fights etc. 🙂 You were the best friend I could have asked for and I miss you every day.
One year my friend. Always in my thoughts and prayers
A few days late but thought of you on the 1st. You're always in my heart. Wish you could have been at my wedding and walked me down the aisle. My mom should be up there with you soon. Kiss her for me and watch out for her. I love you Frank.
My mom is up there with you now Frank. Take care of each other. Love and miss you
