Frank Tomaiolo Obituary
His beloved wife, Margaret (Iovieno) Tomaiolo, died in 1996. Frank is survived by his loving family: two daughters: Rosemarie S. Walsh of Worcester, Jean Tomaiolo-Harney and her husband Brendon of Florida; two grandchildren: Michael J. Walsh and his wife Laura, and Susan M Walsh; three great grandchildren: Joseph, Timothy, and Matthew; and two brothers: Pasquale "Bucko" Tomaiolo and his wife Frances, and Peter Tomaiolo and his wife Mary; and many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by two sisters: Rose Vescera, and Louise Stranieri.
Frank was born in Worcester, son of Raphael and Maria (Marzano) Tomaiolo and lived here all his life. He attended Worcester Boys Trade School. Frank worked as a Court Officer in the Registry of Probate for twenty-five years before he retired. Previous to that he worked for The Rockwood Sprinkler Company and the Worcester Redevelopment Authority. After retirement, Frank went to work for Saint John's High School in Shrewsbury in the Athletic Department where he worked just up to several weeks ago when he became ill. He loved being with the students and faculty and was well respected by all.
Frank was a life member of Our Lady Of Mt. Carmel-St. Ann Parish, the East Side Improvement Club, and was a long time patron of the San Vitaliano Society. He was an avid New York Yankee's fan, and enjoyed all kinds of sports. He enjoyed being with his family, and will be dearly missed by his family and many friends.
The funeral for Frank will be held Friday from the MERCADANTE FUNERAL HOME AND CHAPEL, 370 Plantation St. with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11AM in Our Lady Of Mt. Carmel-St. Ann Church, 24 Mulberry St. Calling hours in the funeral home are from 4-7PM on Thursday. Interment will be in St. John's Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the St. John's High School Athletic Department, 378 Main St., Shrewsbury, MA 01545.

My deepest condolences. I spent the summer of 1977 working for Frank in the Probate Court. What an experience working for Frank. Everyday was a new adventure and I enjoyed the many stories. He was a great taskmaster. He must have been; I still remembered him 31 years later.

I am very sorry for your loss. Frank was a wonderful man and his presence will be greatly missed. It is comforting to know that he was surrounded by his loving family at his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Frank and his family at this time.

My sincerest sympathies to all of Frank's beloved family and friends. What a wonderful man -- loyalty was, I believe, his middle name! In one way I am smiling because I suspect that when it is time for me to, hopefully, enter the "Pearly Gates" it will not be Saint Peter there to greet me but rather Frank and his longtime buddy Rocco Gemma. That pleases me and reassures me greatly. My prayers are will all of you, Frank's dear family.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of Frank. My children absolutely loved Frank and loved when he would go to their baseball games and cheer them on. He will be deeply missed in our hearts.

Frank is beside the Lord, now finally resting. So sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with the Tomaiolo family at this troubling time. I can remember working with Frank at Probate Court, him smoking his cigars and always telling me "The Shadow Knows". May he rest in peace.
