A man of deep faith, Frank cherished his family above all else, always finding joy in their accomplishments and laughter in their company. He was a steadfast presence in their lives, offering love, guidance, and unwavering support.

Frank was a kind and loving man who lit up the lives of those around him. Gifted as a storyteller, he captivated everyone with tales that brimmed with wisdom, humor, and a touch of his Rhode Island charm. He was a magical gardener whose blooms were the envy of the neighborhood. A lover of all animals, his best friend Woodie will miss him dearly as he is greeted by Sheppie and the rest of the pack in Heaven. His generosity knew no bounds; whether it was his time, advice, or a helping hand, he was always there to give without hesitation. Frank took immense pride in his grandchildren, rarely missing a chance to cheer them on at their sports games, concerts, and performances. His presence in the stands and in the audience was a testament to his unwavering love and support, making every moment even more special. Above all, he was the rock of his family, always willing to drop everything to support a loved one in need. His selflessness and unwavering commitment to those he cared about were the hallmarks of a life well-lived. His presence will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. As Frank was known to say, “he has gone to his Reward.” May his soul rest in eternal peace
