Frank was the proud father of 4 sons; Joseph married to Justin and parents to granddaughter Fiora; Adriano partner of Suzie and parents to grandson Ajay; Roberto married to Caterina and parents to granddaughter Valentina; and Francesco (jr) partner of Nechia. Frank is also survived by his wife of 40 years Fortunata (Lombardo), her mother Grace and many Lombardo siblings, spouses, nieces and nephews, along with his sister-in-law Sharon and her sons, who all played a significant role in his daily life along with his many friends who were like family.
