An icon has passed, our blood enters unto another world.

A family morn from afar as the news among entertainment circles unfurl.

He was our Hollywood among the Broadway elite.

An eye for beauty and fashion in every soul he would meet.

The ritz and pizzazz of Francesco’s life kept him from our sides for family to share.

Was it his penance in life to be surrounded by just a handful of those who really care?

His eyes and how they saw beauty were property for all to see.

Francesco, we will meet you on the other side, a family at last when all our souls are free.
