Ninety-two year old Frank R. Giacopino, beloved husband of Madeline, died peacefully on May 6, 2009, after living a long and happy life. Frank was a kind, generous and good man with a wonderful sense of humor who touched the hearts of everyone who knew him.
Frank was born in Manhattan, the third son of Rosina and Luigi Giacopino. He attended St. John’s University, graduating with a degree in Accounting. After a brief time in public accounting, he went on to work as a controller for the Department of Housing and Urban Development for most of his career where he received many awards and accolades as a professional. After marrying his sweetheart Madeline (nee Naclerio) they lived in the Bronx for many years before moving to Flushing, Queens in 1962. Upon his retirement in 1986, Frank and Madeline moved to Leisure Village West, Manchester, NJ where they spent 18 happy years before moving to Wayne to be closer to family.
Throughout his life, Frank was civic-minded and active in community organizations and associations. He was generous with his time and helped others whenever possible. Frank was also a big fan of New York sports, especially the Mets and the Jets. In fact, he attended the second-ever Jets game played at Shea Stadium in 1965, as well as many more in the years to follow. Frank was active himself and enjoyed bowling, golf, bocce ball and playing board and card games. During his retirement, Frank loved to read and do crossword puzzles, wood carving, and needle work – making needlepoint pictures and pillow cases for his family. He also developed a passion for bocce ball and was instrumental in establishing the Bocce Club at Leisure Village and served as the treasurer. He remained fit throughout his 80s and into his 90s by doing exercises every morning.
Frank absolutely loved his family who brought him joy and happiness throughout his life. In addition to his daughter Lorraine and her husband Bill, grandsons Billy and David, granddaughter Nancy and her husband Dave, and great-grandchildren Nicholas, Eowyn, Alexander and Crystar, Frank also had a large extended family and remained close with his nieces and nephews and cousins. His niece Mary Angela Lauritano was like a daughter to Frank.
