SAMUEL P. "SAMMY" FRAGAPANE, age 70. Born in Messina, Italy. Beloved husband of 40 years to Bess; loving father of Nicole Miller (Jason); dear "Pappa" of Penelope and Margo; son of the late Giuseppa (nee Zaiti) and Nicolo Fragapane; brother of Nick (Vittoria), Grace Fragapane (Tom)(deceased), John (Rose), Marie Virzi (Vince) and Paul (deceased)(Jan); brother-in-law of Stella Kadras Prok (Brian); uncle and friend of many.

Sam left a lasting impression with anyone he met.  He knew no strangers and valued everyone.

Bess was his hero and the sun in his life.  She remained his greatest love of 40 years .

Nicole was his joy, the moon, and his proudest accomplishment.  Penelope and Margo were the brightest stars who illuminated his entire world.

Sam had a wealth of knowledge and told the funniest, longest, most drawn out stories.  Sometimes he couldn't get through them without laughing while waiting for you to hear the punchline.

Our Sammy was loved beyond measure and will forever be missed.

"At his deathbed, Achilles realized that they were going to lose the war and uttered his last words, 'DeFeet hurts."

Go Browns!!
