I met Michael at Jessels Grille in 1971 Wow 50 years
ago! we became fast & lifelong friends. My wife Maureen & I shared so many good times & dinners with Michael & Mush. From Bishops in Lawrence all the great Restaurants up & down Rt 1 and of course every Chinese restaurant on the north shore and beyond.
It is very rare in ones lifetime that you find a friend that was such a solid person as Michael Frank which is why Skip Cleveland and I loved him so much it was a brotherhood for sure. Michael could bench press enormous weight & won countless tournaments but he never had a cocky look at me demeanor.
There was no BS in Michael he was Real!
My wish on Mikes birthday is that his close friends & family remember how he embraced & loved life, his countless cars and houses😂 but above all his family.
His 3 wives who were there for him Paul & Marylyn and of course Jason, Josh, Justy & his Angel Sarah!!
Michael ,Maureen & I will always remember you and smile like you did when we walked in & surprised you at Cutting Board & Flackowitz.
Happy Birthday
Love ya Desi
