He had a beautiful voice. Some of the things I had heard. Not sure I believe the mafia info. I guess there are a few people who may know that.

Strangers in the Night is hubby’s and my theme song. When we chose it, in 1966, the night we met, we believed then in the words that say ‘in love forever’. We celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary next month, May 25th.

I was amazed that my 14 year old twin grandsons are so into Sinatra’s music! They know more about him than I do and I’m 73!

He was a great performer. I saw him at least 5 times in Las Vegas, when I was in high school. I grew up in a little town Boulder City, NV. (20 miles from Vegas) but had grandparents and aunts and uncles in Las Vegas and went there often. The times I saw him were at floor shows at the various hotels in Las Vegas

The Australian press dubbed him Cranky Franky.

His favourite colour was orange 🍊. He said he loved orange 🍊 because it is a bright happy colour.
