Frank Aiello, age 90 of Pompton Lakes and formerly of Nutley, died with his loving family by his side, on Thursday, January 21, 2010. He was born and raised in Nutley, lived a short while in Clifton before moving to Pompton Lakes in 1955.  He retired to Holiday City, Toms River in 1983 and moved back to Pompton Lakes in 1997 to be close to his family once again.  

Frank worked for Chemical Leaman Tank Lines of East Rutherford where he drove an 18 wheel tanker.  He earned the Safe Driving award for thirty three years of accident-free service upon his retirement, and was very proud of that achievement.   Earlier, as a young man, he made a cross-country trip on his Indian motorcycle.  One of his first jobs was delivering false teeth in the saddle bags on that same motorcycle.  He simply loved being on the road and successfully made his living at it for many, many years.

He enjoyed many trips to Atlantic City and Las Vegas.  He loved to play craps .  He was a member of a bowling league for many years in Oakland and made some great friends throughout his years there too.  He was extremely smart when it came to fixing things; he could fix anything.  He especially enjoyed taking care of his grandkids whenever he had the opportunity.  He always took them for a special trip to McDonalds, or when down the shore he would take them to the boardwalk, cherishing every moment.

Frank is survived by his loving children; John Aiello and his wife Linda of Wayne, Debra Sylvestri of Pompton Lakes, Denise Vivino of Pompton Lakes, Dana Balinski and her husband Ron of Wayne;   cherished grandfather of John Aiello, Jr., Steven Aiello and his wife Laura, Kimberly Aiello, Amy Schmidt and her husband Scott, Kristen Sylvestri, Sam Vivino and Max Vivino; great-grandfather of Cadence and Priscella;  and one sister; Marion Turiello and her husband Pat of Toms River.  Frank was predeceased by his devoted wife of sixty years, Irene, in 2009, as well as eleven brothers and sisters.

As expressions of sympathy in Frank’s memory, donations to the Passaic Valley Hospice, 783 Riverview Drive, Box 1007, Totowa, NJ 07511, would be greatly appreciated.
