Yes, they were close friends until Dean died in 1995. Although they had had a brief falling out in 1988 when Dean dropped out of the Together Again tour with Frank and Sammy, there were no long-lasting hard feelings. Both Frank and Dean, as well as the people closest to them, have denied that there was any feud and confirmed that they remained friends. Sinatra, although himself in failing health, would always visit Dean for his birthday, and would phone him frequently to reminisce about the old times, right up to the day before Dean passed away.
They thought of each other as brothers, which is how Frank described Dean on his passing. Frank wanted to attend Dean's memorial, but was too overcome with grief and didn't want to be seen breaking down in public, so his wife Barbara went in his stead.

Where did Frank Sinatra die?
Frank Sinatra died at 10.35 and was officially pronounced dead 15 minutes later. 10:50 is the official time of his death. This is because the time of death recorded is when a doctor can see that a person is dead
What was the squabble between Frank Sinatra and Dean?
The final tour of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.--billed as 'Frank, Dean, and Sammy: Together Again--had been arranged largely as an attempt to revive Dean Martin's enthusiasm for performing following his son's tragic death. Unfortunately, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin no longer enjoyed the close relationship they had during the 1960s. In Chicago, Sinatra did not like his hotel accomodations and insisted Dean and Sammy leave the hotel with him to seek more suitable lodging. Sammy agreed but Dean refused. The final break came after one concert, when Frank accused Dean of performing his musical set in an uninterested, lackluster manner. Dean returned to his hotel room, packed his bags, and boarded an airplane back to his home in Las Vegas, refusing to participate in the remainder of the tour. Dean was replaced in the 'Together Again' tour by former Rat Pack 'mascot' Shirley MacLaine.

Do the pictures of Frank Sinatra and Lucky Luciano exist?
While it's well known that some members of Cosa Nostra were very close to Frank Sinatra, and the Godfather's depiction of Vito Corleone getting that singer (his name escapes me at this moment - Johnny Fontane?) out of his contract by giving the record company 'an offer they cant refuse' is based upon Sinatra's own, identical situation being resolved by his Mafia friends, I do not believe that any PUBLIC pictures show Sinatra with Luciano alone. I have seen photos of Sinatra with Carlo Gambino, amongst other mobsters, but never with Lucky in it as well. Sinatra did perform for many Cosa Nostra members in private shows, including for a recently deported Luciano in Havana, but you have to remember that A) most mobsters dont want their photos taken unless they know the guy holding the camera, and B) Sinatra probably didnt want to flaunt the fact that he was heavily associated with mob members, especially considering Lucky's reputation at that time. Once Luciano was deported, including for the show Sinatra was said to do in Havana, your camera would be smashed over your head, with you being beaten within an inch of your death, if you tried to take a picture of Luciano. The last thing he wanted was the government knowing he went to Cuba, instead of staying in Italy, and - aside from John Gotti, what mobster of Lucky's stature do you see in any sort of pictures? I'd love to see one if it exists, but Ive dont research in a lot of different places, and to the best of my knowledge, Luciano & Sinatra dont have one together. See the related link for one with Frank and Carlo Gambino (and other Mafioso):
