Frank Anthony Tumminello

Frank spent his early years working with race horses along with his brother Guy. When he became a husband and father he built a career on the riverfront as a longshoreman. Frank also harbored a love of travel and exploration. He took his wife and children on many adventures, such as camping, fishing, skiing, canoeing, horse riding, and road tripping. The wonderful memories made on these trips are still cherished to this day.

Many other people have benefited from Frank's kind and generous heart. There were lots of times where he helped people in need by using his financial resources, his time, and his amazing knowledge of how to fix everything.

Frank's mission in life was to be a good husband and father. While Frank may be gone in body, his spirit was larger than life and will be carried in the hearts of those who loved him.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Hilda Tumminello; his brother, Guy; and his beloved wife, Susan Tumminello. Together, Frank and Susan built a family whose love and memories remain an enduring part of their legacy.

He is survived by his four children: Marc Tumminello and his children, Luke, Titus, and Scarlett; Ricco Tumminello, his wife Tracy, and their children, Lydia, Chloe, Tate, and Riley; Gino Tumminello, his wife Amanda, and their children, Samuel, Jacob, and Jesse; and Angela Navas, her husband Pedro, and their children, Mateo and Juliana.

Frank is also survived by his siblings, Deanne Melancon, Lynn Bennett, Charlie Tumminello, his wife Susan, and Maria Finnan, along with numerous extended family members.
