I wasn't finished ...I wasn't done with you. I wanted more. More piss holes in the snow, more walking up to Italy, more gleaning of coal from the streets. My heart is broken~~~~~~~~ RIP my friend

Thank you for all the bittersweet memories that would forever capture my heart and inspire me to live life even though circumstances struck us to be feeble and weak. I wept and cried with your stories and as I look back, I feel like I'm with you whenever I'm reading it. I love your story, and I love the way you face the challenges and trials. Thanks for sharing us a huge part of your life and for making us believe in limitless possibility of being happy and contented. You are one true person.

Man, he was such a gifted story-teller. His writing was something you rarely see these days.

[clbztf]

his name and writings will always remind me of that very few beautiful memories of my secondary school years: the english classes - my english teacher was the one who gave me one of his books, teacher man. now i'm halfway through angela's ashes, and i really enjoy it - i learnt from his story that we can survive despite our bad conditions (big word for someone like me, groaning and moaning all the time about the smallest things)...

so, may he rest in peace.

[Jeannenyc57]

Frank was a wonderful, witty , talented man, who said it like it was back then, I had the privledge of meeting him twice. He was a teacher when my cousin taught May he rest in peace! My parents were from Ireland also, and endured hard times. Check out the two documentaries,

The Mc Courts of Limerick and The Mc courts of New York. Frank was wonderful, Bless him Jeanne in Manhattan

A truly wonderful man. I have read all three books that Frank read, over and over again. They truly are masterpieces of literature written with wonderful style and with honesty. RIP Frank - thanks for the legacy you have given us.

[borimirtheboring]

Angela's Ashes is one of my all time favorite books. I've never read a book so heart wrenchingly sad and side splittingly funny at the same time. Frank was a master writer.

[DollyzDaggerz]

Bless you Frank, and may you rest forever in the Arms of the Angels...thank you for all you have given us. )0;

[Beoy999]

Angelas ashes is very good worth the read. Many locals were and some still dont like the book too gritty yet it left out the real shocking incidents in limeric at the time of clerical sex abuse and torture of children etc

[taiko78]

I just started reading Angela's Ashes last week or so

[baklava4]
