Frank P. Curto Jr.

Frank was born in Amityville to his late parents, Frank and Laura. He attended Copiague schools, and graduated from Walter G. O’Connell – Copiague High School in 1983. He met his future bride, the former Suzanne Burkhardt, through her brother, who was friends with Frank. They married in 1992, and made their home in Copiague, where they began raising their own family.

As kids, he and his brother played wiffleball; and was proud of 2 homeruns he scored when he played baseball. Growing up Frank served as an altar boy at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, and played guitar and sang in the church Folk Group. Growing up, his brother Doug remembers Frank as “the sweetest nerd”, recalling a guy who loved and became a collector of Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia. Frank loved playing video games, and enjoyed Happy Days, Grimm, Supernatural, The Originals and haven – many of his favorite television shows. He so loved "A Christmas Story", and became a fan of the saying "Fra-gee-lay"! Frank was also very tech-savvy, loved fishing and was a true auto enthusiast.

Frank is survived by his beloved wife – Suzanne; his daughters – Jennifer (Raphael) Valle, Melissa Williams, Michelle Williams (P.J.) and Caitlin Curto (Azard); and his grandchildren – Nicole, R.J., Jace, Andrew, Alianna and Brayden; and was expecting a seventh grandchild soon. He’s also survived by his siblings – Ellen (John) McQuillen, Gina (John) Lewis, Douglas (Tanya) Curto and Kelly Curto.
