Frank was very special to me-he was my first supervisor as I started my career. He supported and challenged me and became a long time friend. We started at Northrop/Page Communications, and both also worked at MITRE. Rest in Peace my friend, until we meet again.

Frank was a great guy. He and Bootsie visited Pat and I here in Florida a few years ago.
His work on the St. Paul’s 50 year reunion of the class of 57 will be remembered by all of us in that class. He and Bubba Facenda , who also just passed were classmates of mine for 12 years at Dt Paul’s. Rest in Peace.

My deepest heartfelt condolences.
I wasn’t fortunate enough to grow up close to the the family, however my experience with he and my Great Aunt Bootsie, will always be imprinted on my memory.
I will always picture their love and grace, as they met and welcomed my family and I into their home. That experience has left my heart smiling and wrapped up in the warmth and kindness, that radiated from the 2 of them that day.
What seemed such a causal meeting that afternoon, upon reflection, was such a blessing.

Frank was a dear longtime friend. We started school in the first grade at St Paul’s in September 1945 and were together for all of elementary school through grade 8.

He had a sweet disposition and was an easy man to like a good student in school and at Tech and a dedicated lifletime Catholic. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.

My deepest sympathy is extended to his children who were deeply loved. We rarely talked in his later days without his relaying their accomplishments and his pride. He also prided himself in his “Newtown” roots where he knew and loved so many.

May he rest in eternal peace and be a man filled with goodness and kindness.
