Frank Sudano

Frank Sudano, of Hudson, passed away on Sunday, February 22, 2015 at the age of 70. Frank was born in a small town called Massa Santa Lucia in Sicily, Italy. He, along with his mother, Grace and sister Josephine, immigrated to America in 1958. Frank married his first wife, Nancy, and they had a beautiful daughter they named Vanessa Fay. He went on in life and eventually franchised a 7-Eleven store which he owned and operated for 30 years. In 1993, he met Linda and they were married on May 6, 1995. They worked together at 7-Eleven for twelve years before he retired and they moved to Florida to be closer to Linda's parents. Together, with Linda's three children, they formed a strong family bond that continues today.

Frank loved to travel and he and Linda visited Italy and other European countries several times. Branson, MO., San Francisco, CA., and Las Vegas were some of his favorite U.S. vacation destinations. Countless cruises were enjoyed with his wife, even though he would never put even one toe in the water. Another mainstay in his life, was a love for his homeland of Italy. Frank loved to listen to Italian music and watch Italian programs on television.

Watching sports was another pastime of Frank's which brought him great joy. His favorite teams were the Mets (even though everyone tried to convince him that the was a Yankee fan), Jets and New York Rangers. Bowling was another sport that he enjoyed and every Thursday you would find him in the bowling alley followed by lunch at his favorite restaurant, "The Rams".

Frank is survived by his mother, Grace; sisters, Josephine and Joanne; wife, Linda; daughter, Vanessa; son-in-law, Chris; their children, Justin, Hope, Kayla and Gianna. Also, his step-sons, Philip (PJ) and his children Katelynn and Gabe; Cary and his wife Kelly, their daughters Erin and Emma; and step-daughter Amanda.
