Tiffani wrote: "My Dad was a lover of many things. Animals, plants, chocolate, jazz, anything citrus, lottery tickets, cars, watches, stray dogs and cats and good Italian pasta.
"But what he loved most was his family. He was a quiet man, but was never quiet about showing his love for us. He was kind, had a sweet sense of humour and was the utmost gentleman. Everybody who knew my Dad LOVED him. He truly had a heart of gold."
She went on to add: "Daddy, I am heartbroken you are gone. However, I know you are at peace now and that brings me comfort. I promise you I will watch over Mom and take care of her as you did for over 60 years.
"Thank you for being such a dedicated husband and showing me what a true gentleman is. Thank you for being a wonderful Dad and Gramps and being there for us.
"But most of all, thank you for loving me like you always did. No matter what, you had my back and were my biggest fan. I loved making you proud."
She concluded her message by adding: "I love you, Daddy. We miss you so much."
Tiffani's heartbreaking tribute comes just months after she celebrated Frank's 85th birthday back in February. At the time, the screen star wrote in a post on Instagram: " Happy 85th Birthday Daddy! Another year around the sun and another candle added to your cake. (lemon of course).
"So much to be proud and thankful for and you're one of them. I [love] you Daddy!"
