If you were blessed enough to cross paths with Frank you knew these things were certain: he was brilliantly funny with the quickest wit you'd ever encounter, and he would do anything for the people he loved. To his daughter and many others Frank had been and always will be a hero.

Frank absolutely loved animals and they loved him too. He fed flocks of birds and families of squirrels, deer, rabbits and other wildlife on a daily basis. Thanks to Frank they probably ate better than most people.

Frank truly missed his calling as a chef and baker. Whether it was rice balls, stromboli, home-made pasta, or cookies and cakes that would make Mrs. Fields and the Cake Boss jealous, he always had a masterpiece in the works in the kitchen.

Frank's loving heart and devotion to those he cared about knew no bounds. He was an incredible husband, father, and friend who was kind to all who crossed his path. He lived as an example of love, strength, kindness and character. We were truly blessed to have him in this world and it was and is a better place because Frank was in it. His loss will be felt greatly.
