Francis Nicholas “Frank” Collura, age 73, of Montville, died peacefully on Monday, May 16, 2011.
He was born in Brooklyn, NY and lived in Blauvelt, NY, West Orange, NJ before moving to Montville, NJ in 2009.
Frank served in the US Marine Corps, 2nd Battalion, Platoon 257, during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged having attained the rank of Lance Corporal.
He worked his entire career for the Chase Manhattan Bank – Commercial Real Estate Division in New York City and retired in 1997 as a Executive Vice President.
The following come to mind when asked to describe Frank: caring, gentleman, particular, attention to detail, perfect appearance, persistent, high moral standard, and perfectionist. To Frank everything was black and white. His high moral and ethical standard is exemplified by his parking the company car all weekend as it was only to be used for work purposes. He also enjoyed dancing and was very good at the Cha-cha, Salsa, and Merengue just to name a few.
He is survived by his loving wife Blanca (Flores) Collura; loved father of Kim Slavik of Pompton Plains, Guy Collura and his wife Danae of Frisco, TX and Lyn Wiltsie and her husband Bob of Ballston Spa, NY; cherished grandfather of Drew and Wade Slavik and Julianna and Jacquelyn Wiltsie; brother of Eleanor Giordano of Deerfield Beach, FL.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Frank’s memory are asked to consider the Alzheimer’s Association, 400 Morris Ave., Suite 251, Denville, NJ 07834-1365.
