My heartfelt condolences to the Zanzaro family. Frank was great man and a very good friend, since I met him at Providence Hospital in 1954. I saw him more after I started my Residency in Pathology in 1961. We worked together for many years afterwards. May he rest in peace in the Lord.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Dr. Sanzaro and his family were our neighbors for many years. He was always such a warm, caring and compassionate person. I will always remember him, Pat and the rest of the family fondly. Rest in peace.

I had the privilege of knowing Dr Sanzaro as a colleague at Providence Hospital. Besides being a very fine surgeon, his ethics, professional conduct and dedication for his patients. made him an example for his community. Most of all he was a good person and great friend.
My condolences to the family.

Dr Sanzaro was a very kind and gentle person. He always asked how you were doing and trully interested in one's answer. It was a pleasure to work with him. The world has lost a gentle giant who served patients with care and compassion.
May his homecoming be celebrated by all who knew and love him.

Dr. Sanzaro had a lot to offer to all of those around him -- his family, his friends and his patients. I will remember the few times I had the opportunity to speak with him and catch up on his children and grandchildren. I know that he is now at peace with all those who preceded him in death. I am also certain that God has a special place for him to listen to those who left before him.

May he rest in peace and a special blessing for all the individuals who stood by his side - in health and in sickness. We will miss him.

Our deepest regrets to the family of Dr. Sanzaro. We have lost a great Doctor and a wonderful friend. He was a good neighbor to my sister and her family, Mrs.Mary Jane Banning, always there to help out when needed. The world is a better place because of Dr. Sanzaro. We do not see many like him as we travel life's journey. May peace be with the family.

I had the privilege and pleasure of being his colleague and having him as a dear and admired friend. We worked together at Providence Hospital for many years. What a gentleman!

My condolances to the Sanzaro family. I worked with Dr. Sanzaro for many years at Providence Hospital, as well as having him as my surgeon. He was an excellent surgeon, a gentle man, compassionate. I remember his phone calls to my home after my surgeries. Such a dedicated person is rare today.
He will be missed by many.
