LOS ANGELES (AP) — Frank Sinatra Jr., who carried on his famous father's legacy with his own music career and whose kidnapping as a young man added a bizarre chapter to his father's legendary life, died Wednesday. He was 72.

The younger Sinatra died unexpectedly of cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona Beach, Florida, the Sinatra family said in a statement to The Associated Press.

The statement said the family mourns the untimely passing of their son, brother, father and uncle. No other details were provided.

Barry Keenan (born 1940) is an American criminal, best known as the mastermind behind the 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra, Jr.
quote:

Keenan had a psychiatric condition in which he heard voices, and felt that his plan was blessed by God; since he intended to eventually pay the money back, he did not think the kidnapping was immoral. After successfully nabbing Sinatra Jr. from the Harrah's Lodge at South Lake Tahoe, Keenan made contact with Frank Sinatra, Sr. to make ransom arrangements. Sinatra initially offered one million dollars, but Keenan demanded $240,000 instead; significantly less. Despite the nature of the crime, Keenan felt that he was bringing the Sinatra family closer together and assisting the Sinatras in other intangible ways.

Sinatra paid the ransom and the three men released his son. Within days, all three conspirators were apprehended by the FBI. Keenan was sentenced to life plus seventy-five years in prison for his crimes, but only served four and a half years before he was released, because it was determined that he was legally insane at the time of the crime.
After getting out of prison Keenan went into real estate. In 1983 he was allegedly worth $17 million.

He's been on Family Guy a few times. I think he and Seth M. took voice lessons from the same teacher.

ETA: BTW, is TD not doing a bracket challenge this year? I don't see one listed.

I stick by my choice. I lived in DC where Tony operates. He's a hall of fame a-hole, well known throughout town. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard, especially given that context.
