"Frank was such a wonderful man. He made us laugh every chance he could and he wouldn't even have to try. You were that italian grandfather I had been missing ever since my grandpa passed years and years ago. We would sit at that kitchen table and tell each other stories. You told me about your life growing up. You were an amazing man, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. But most importantly, you always had and always will have a special place in my heart Frank. Thank you for blessing my life with yours. -Marissa Rizzo"

"It was hard to NOT respect and admire Frank ? his character was legendary?the rare man these days that treated both loved ones AND strangers with the utmost respect until they lost that right. A barometer for what is right vs. wrong. A smart man with a lot of common sense and love for his kids and grandkids?and always a smile on his face. He genuinely enjoyed life, a good joke, and stayed active long after those from his era have thrown in the towel. He lit up whatever room or gathering he was part of. No surprise he survived 9 decades. It?s been a pleasure knowing him for 30+ years ? his class and character will surely be missed. The Jesnig family."

"I have so many great memories of the K of C bowling tournaments and golfing. Rib sandwiches at Pointe BBQ after our mixed bowling league. But one memory stands out and it was a party at our home in Warren and a popular song at that time was acky breaky heart and Frank was teaching everyone the line dance. We played the song over and over until everyone learned the dance. Frank was the hit of the party. Frank has been a good and valued friend to me for over 64 years and I will miss him. My condolences to the Nucci family. Jim Lotito"
