Frank loved many things in life, first and foremost, his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His wife would look at him during family gatherings and say “Frank, look what we started” and he would joke and reply, “I should have stayed in the Navy”. The United States Navy was his second love and he served as an aviation mechanic both active and reserve duties for a total of 12 years. He was blessed with the best careers after discharge working at General Electric in the Mission and Space Division, Operations Manager at the law firm of Morgan, Lewis and Bockius and later Facilities Manager and Vehicle Disbursement Administrator in Corporate Vehicles of Subaru of America, where he retired at the age of 83. His coworkers over these years were his family, away from home and most of them were still in his life at the time of his passing. He was fortunate enough to have long standing friendships. He and his wife belonged to Orbis Avanti for over 40 years. Their focus was on education and their bond was unbreakable! Frank was an only child but he had a vast number of aunts, uncles and cousins, all of which he adored. He loved company at the house giving people who visited Grappa, Biscotti, and Bermuda Gold. On holidays he shared his famous eggnog, antipasto and for breakfast his incredible pancakes! Frank’s precious possession was Bianca, his 9-year-old toy poodle! During his illness she lined his hospital bed with her toy ducks and laid with him, a true and loyal companion! Finally, he used to say, “I am not dying, there is no future in it.” and even though he is no longer in the physical world he will never die in the hearts of those he has left behind! We love you Frank always and forever!
