Frankie was working for an elevator construction company in 1961 and was seriously injured when he fell 6 stories down an elevator shaft.
He was in a coma and required several surgeries. He was confined to a wheel chair for several years. At the time of his injury he was thinking about making comeback. Unforunately it never happened.
