Dottie and Family-
I'm lost for words. I was in total shock when I heard. I enjoyed so much just taking with Frank, all we did was laugh. I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am for you and your family on this great loss. My deepest sympathy to you Dottie and the entire family. I will also miss Frank, but not as much as you. He was the best.

I would like to express our sincere feeling of loss to the entire Dortenzio Family at your time of loss. As a member of the Everett Fire Department's Fire Prevention Division we have dealt with Frank for many years and have always found him to be very professional and funny. Everytime I had to see or talk with Frank I always was left with a smile on my face because of something he said or did. It will not be the same around the city without him. RIP Frank!
