OK Folks, here is the skinny.
Since I am not related to Frankie V, I can not open an account in his name with
out jumping through hoops that will take days. I can not even open an account
with his name on it with out a copy of his SS card. Not just the number, a
copy. So since I do not have time to figure this out, the bank gave me a viable
suggestion. Make out any check to "Francis A. Clarici V" Be sure that you have
that V on there. That insures that the checks are for Frankie V. If you want to
add something in the memo line, say "for Education Fund" or "In Pops Memory".
Then Frankie IV can take them to the bank where they have a stamp they can put
on them. He can open a savings account or a 529 education fund.
Bring them to the funeral or mail them to the Clarici's at the
631 Parkside Ave
Toms River NJ 08753
Or mail them to me
729 Barclay Ave
Morrisville PA 19067
Or I can still accept a PayPal if you want to go that route. Or a savings bond.
No matter, it's all about Frankie V and his Pops (and to ease Frankie and Jen's
ease of mind as well) anyway.
Sorry for the big delay in what seemed to be such a simple idea. I have been
arguing with banks for 2 days just to end up here.

PS and thanks to Phil Nase for the advice.
