Passed away peacefully, with his family by his side on July 31, 2022 at the age of 86. Frank was a caring husband, father, uncle, nonno, brother and friend. Beloved wife of 51 years, Mafalda. Much loved father of Tony (Laura), Franca, Saverio (Mary Anne). Cherished Nonno of Samantha, Daniel, Joshua and Luke. Dear brother of Donato (Maria) of Vancouver. Predeceased by brothers Luigi and Nunzio. He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and close friends.

Frank was born and raised in Morrone Del Sannio, Italy. He loved spending time in the outdoors enjoying good food, wine and spending time with family and friends. He came to Canada during the 1960’s and married Mafalda in 1971. Coming to Canada with very limited resources, he established himself as a hard-working Electrician with Ontario Hydro for over 35 years, and built a very comfortable life for his family. His support, kindness and jovial nature will always be remembered by his family and those whose lives he touched.

If you so desire, donations to The Parkinson Foundation of Southwestern Ontario would be appreciated by the family.
