My heart goes out to Cotillo family. Frank was like a second father figure to me and I am beyond sad about his passing. He truly had such a big heart and the funniest personality, always making fun of me every chance he had. He impacted the lives of so many individuals and anyone who knew him just had to love him. For the rest of my life I will always take care of his daughter Hope, my best friend forever.
