IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Nov 13, 1962 — Aug 10, 2026
Cliffside Park
With heavy hearts and deep appreciation for a life well-lived, we announce the passing of our beloved brother, Frank on August 10, 2026, at the age of 63. Frank departed this world peacefully surrounded by the love and comfort of his family. Born on November 13, 1962, in Englewood, NJ, to the late Albert Sr. and Rosann, who now welcome him into their eternal embrace.
Frank's life was a testament to the profound impact one individual can have on those around him. Educated at Cliffside Park High School, he went to work at the Cliffside DPW, where he was known not only for his hard work but also his quick wit and warm smile that could brighten the toughest of days. His dedication to his community extended beyond his work, as he was an active member of the Epiphany Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, and the Elks, where his presence was a source of inspiration and camaraderie.
A true outdoors man, Frank found joy in hunting and fishing alongside his brothers and nieces, creating memories that will be cherished for generations. He also expressed his creativity through painting, a passion that allowed him to share his unique perspective with the world.
When Frank wasn't outdoors, he was bowling with his buddies or playing bocce at the park.
Frank is survived by his loving family - his brother Albert Jr. and sister-in-law Kelly, Samantha, Nicole and her husband Braddock, Ashley and boyfriend Tom, his brother Salvatore and sister-in-law Lori, Brook and boyfriend Ryan, and Mia. Also, Frank's girlfriend, Elaine Carusso and her family, along with many cousins and close friends who will remember him for his kindness, humor, and unwavering support.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Holy Name Hospital Hospice staff for their wonderful care during Frank's final days. Their compassion and professionalism provided immense comfort to both Frank and his loved ones.
A service to honor and celebrate Frank's life will be held on August 13, 2026, at 9:30 am at the Epiphany church in Cliffside park.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations may be made to Holy Name Hospital Hospice, in loving memory of Frank's kindness and giving spirit.
Frank's spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. Ac we say goodbye to a remarkable man, we find solace in the memories we shared and the knowledge that his legacy of love and laughter will endure.
