“In his last few months he suffered like an animal,” Castellano continued. “I first met him when I was 3 years old and he was a friend [of] big brother Uncle Cheech and my lifelong buddy he was older than me but he always treated me like an equal.”
He added, “I will miss him forever. God Rest Your Soul Uncle Frankie.”
