            Time flies bye but memories are forever !! Please take the time to remember
            our boys and girls that serve in our Arm Forces…Sometimes with all that’s going
            on around us, it’s easy to forget them..”Little Frankie”, you are deeply missed !!
            One more thing Frankie, you sure knew how to pick a “Best Friend” (ROX)….

                ROXREC (John Shimer) said he couldn’t sleep so he got up early. He must have been
                thinking of his best friend, Frankie A. Azzarito, that he lost in Vietnam on this day
                back in 1968. As John said,”46 years in the blink of an eye” โ— Where does time go โ“
                Please don’t wait until Memorial Day to think about all the men and women that have
                given their lives for our country…Dino painted this glove box door for John some years
                ago for John’s 62 Chevy. That Chevy is gone, but John still has the door which is now on
                John new 62 Bel Air…….A NICE MEMORIAL FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND โ— โ— ….. ty

                        “Wall” website -under Frankies name …”See you at Dover” decal .Probably the only referance for a Vet there of Dover.Frankie and Rox would be taken to Dover By Smokey every Sunday,before they couild drive. Thats the connection, and Smokey had Azzarito as a sponsor on his Henry J gasser.Like so many other lost Dover “family”… we hope we don’t forget , by remembering them here.

I WAS THERE THE DAY THE MARINES CAME TO TELL HIM THAT HIS SON WAS MISSING IN ACTION.BIG FRANK WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT.SAD DAY FOR ALL. JOHN WAS A GREAT FRIEND AND HE HAS KEPT LITTLE FRANKIES MEMORY ALIVE ALL THESE YEARS.GOD BLESS YOU JOHN AND LITTLE FRANKIE.

                            Here we are, one year later.. John Shimer (ROXREC) call me today from Texas. He said that he had been riding his bike this morning thinking about
                            his best friend (Little Frankie) that he lost in Viet Nam 47 years ago today.
                            He said it seems like it was just yesterday when Smokey would bring them
                            to Dover and let them run wild. Time flies bye and it’s so easy to forget. Please
                            remember all of our fallen heroes along with our men and women now serving
                            in our arm forces โ— GOD BLESS THEM ALL โ— โ— ……..ty

                                    I never knew Little Frankie or even met him, but maybe I did that day at Dover Dragstrip as I was watching the cars run or getting something at the snack bar. It’s possible we talked but never exchanged names. It’s a strange feeling to be friends with someone you maybe never knew. I was invited to go to DC Wednesday with the Patriot Honor Flight people and after last week’s 25th. Dover reunion I thought what better time to place a dash plaque that I had, at the “Wall” In DC to complete this odd circle of connection I have with Frankie. We will meet again someday Frankie.
