Update - Frank Bertucci's Viewing

Hi all. If you're checking here first there seems to be enough interest that we will give Chickie's a shot. Those that get there first stake out a spot unless I get down to see if we can get a space which I'll try to do before heading to the viewing to try to be there on the front end.

And some of us will hang so the back end of the crowd still has a chance to get there since Frank's immediate family has an interest in coming down after the viewing is done after 9. -- Mel

Any changes, they will be conveyed but the site is now fixed.

PHILADELPHIA -- Hello everyone.



While things are quiet for another week or so basically in the world many of you come for, the blog in this post is being used more locally involving our dear friend Frank Bertucci, who died suddenly Friday night of a heart attack.



Yours truly operated in a similar manner last year for the many who came for the services of Ginnny Doyle, the former Archbishop Ryan star and Richmond associate head women’s basketball coach, who was one of the victims in the horrific ballon accident which is actually occurred a year ago this weekend.



You were directed here through the link from Facebook, twitter or email, which you all used to read my appreciation yesterday plus of course this is open to anyone else who just recently got the news.



Anyhow, the thinking is it would be nice beginning at 8 pm tomorrow night – Wed. -- and continuing on after Frank’s viewing at the Pennsylvania Burial near Broad and South to gather and hang out in the manner Frank would have loved.



At the moment, unless someone knows someplace better, it appears the best place to go would be to Chickie & Pete’s in South Philly because of proximity, space, and available and free parking.



If one of you has connections and can get us a room, that would be great but we can just gather by the bar.



If there is only a few interested for now – we can audible since the group would be smaller, if those involved so desire.



Of course, we can always dedicate another night soon either way to do something similar.



But this is a quick survey – do you have interest and feel free if you have another suggestion as a destination.



I’ll post something late afternoon tomorrow where we’re at in the process and if another place is the destination it will be mentioned and also the word will be passed Wed night. – the viewing is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.n.



So just to see what numbers we have – email me at poll416@gmail.com and put Frank’s Viewing in the subject field if possible so I know as quick as possible where we’re at to provide the update.



And thanks for helping out.
