Frank P. Albora, age 89 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, February 13, 2018. He had been a resident of Wayne since 1967.
Frank grew up in Paterson and graduated from Eastside High School. He went to Kansas State University and graduated in 1952. He was then drafted into the U.S. Army and served for two years. Coincidentally, the Army assigned him to duty in Kansas where he worked with the Veterinary Corps, tending to the various animals of the U.S. Army, such as horses and dogs. He had a special love for animals and this was right up his alley. This experience inspired Frank to continue his education after the Army and he later earned a Master’s Degree in Dairy Science from Penn State. While in school, he was a member of the Dairy Judging Team, tasting and judging the quality of cheeses. He had a firm knowledge of the science behind the foods that we all eat.
After college, he returned to New Jersey and began working for the Borden’s Ice Cream Company. He eventually became the Food Plant Manager for Wellworth and the company was acquired several times over and he continued with each of the successive companies. Frank retired in 1996.
Frank enjoyed gardening and took great pride in his veggies, including zucchini and tomatoes. He also loved to go boating and kept a boat on Greenwood Lake for many years. His daughter recalls spending summer days with him at the Preakness pool where he taught her to swim and dive, and he would play volleyball with their friends. He was a very sociable guy and enjoyed a group of longtime friends. He and his wife, Roz, played cards with the same group of friends for more than forty years. He was also a member for many years of the Knights of Columbus and the Wayne Elks.
Frank met his wife, Rosalinda “Roz” Panebianco at a family gathering in the town of Upper Greenwood Lake, NY in 1957. The two of them started talking and they truly hit it off. Frank proposed just two weeks later and they married the following summer; June 29, 1958. After a honeymoon to Lake George, they settled in Clifton and Paterson before moving to Wayne in 1967. Frank had a “good heart,” and Roz described their sixty years together as “terrific.” She will miss him dearly.
Frank is survived by his beloved wife; Rosalinda of Wayne, his daughter; Cara Shaw and her husband Ben of Raleigh, NC, two grandchildren; Aaron and Samuel Shaw, his dear nieces; Lillian Pagano of Paramus, and Jina Panebianco of Marina Del Rey, CA, his nephews; Joseph Panebianco and his wife Cynthia of Wyckoff, and Hugh Albora and his wife Elizabeth of Hackettstown, ten great-nieces and great-nephews, and an extended and loving family.
