        I read he drank a fifth of it a day. He was a functional alcoholic before the term existed.

        I heard the roll of dimes was because a loved one (maybe his son?) of his was once kidnapped and he had to call the kidnappers at a pay phone and he was always terrified after that about not having change for a pay phone. Not sure if that was true or not.

        That is because he forgot to bury a pay phone with him:)

        Frank is buried here in Palm Springs. I was surprised to see his headstone is somewhat average & he's buried with the rest of us...no ornate family plot.

        Roll of dimes was also good for a fist fight (and we all know Frank was a scrapper).

        Maybe, but 83 is a ripe old age. More likely they contributed to his vocal decline as he got older.

        I buried my grandmother who loved to play poker with a Royal Flush. She couldn’t be beat.

        And his grave is between family members, I suppose, kinda crammed in between. Very unassuming. I've only seen pictures
