Hoboken celebrates Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday

Frank Sinatra was the Chairman of the Board, Ol' Blue Eyes and The Voice. But "Slacksy O'Brien?"

That was an early nickname for Sinatra in the Hoboken neighborhood where he grew up because, as a youngster, he wore nice clothes.

Some young-at-heart residents of Hoboken raised their glasses to the award-winning singer and actor on Saturday on what would have been his 100th birthday.

If there was anything Frank Sinatra enjoyed more than a stiff glass of Jack Daniels, it was blowing out the candles on his birthday cake each and every year. "He loved his birthdays," says his daughter Tina Sinatra, who's been spearheading a number of gala celebrations of her late father's 100th birthday throughout 2015. "Birthdays, they signify life. And he was very, very Italian and very happy to share and to bestow and to celebrate people and himself." 

To commemorate the Dec. 12 centennial of the most significant pop vocalist of his age, the Sinatra family has shared with PEOPLE some personal and intimate – and sometimes very funny - images from the singer's past. "We have pictures of him that are the silliest things you've ever seen about his birthday," she says
