Frank was a family man, dedicated to his wife, children, and grandchildren. He took pride in his impeccable pool, growing his fig tree and driving his Cadillac. He loved vacationing in Aruba and Disney World with his family. Loved by his family, he lived every day for them and enjoyed family dinners and get togethers.
He was proud of his Italian Heritage, Brooklyn roots, and was a proud Teamster (Local 282). Frank was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, enjoyed watching the New York Mets, and loved spending time outdoors at his impeccable pool with his family or taking his grandkids to the park. Frank enjoyed barbequing and would sit outside for hours working on his famous year-round tan.
Frank loved animals like his namesake, St. Franics of Assisi, and cherished his late dog Pongo who he will now meet at Rainbow Bridge. Frank had the biggest heart and loved children, including a special bond he shared with twins Vincent and Valentina Amico.
He never missed a milestone in his children or grandchildren’s lives, including birthdays and celebrations, and loved picking his granddaughter up from school daily.
Frank will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
