 The shop's owner, Ronnie Italiano, proudly displayed the stone on a riser of fake grass surrounded by artificial flowers. When Ronnie had discovered in 1985 that Lyman's actual grave was unmarked, he contacted Frankie's widow, Amira, about raising money to buy Frankie a proper memorial. Hello. She liked the idea, so a benefit was held that raised $3,000 from fans to purchase the stone and have it engraved.
