Frank was an inspiration to all of us Icemen who hauled block ice from his big freezer house in Rensselaer , NY . he could drag three 300lb. blocks of ice behind him when he had his " creepers " on . His smile and sense of humor made a boring job fun , we all miss him to this day .

I played ball for the Carpinello Ice team years ago. I remember his grandfather, father and mother - all wonderful people. The last time I saw Frank was at my own sons funeral and he gave me comfort. I did not know of his passing or I would have been there to say goodbye. He will always be in my heart as I knew him since we were kids. And he was just that, larger than life....Barbara Caracci Kipp

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. It's been awhile since I see both of you. My Son Brandon played Pop Warner Football with Clayton. Everytime I ran into your Dad he was always smiling and had kind things to say. May all the happy memories get you thru this difficult time.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
— George Bernard Shaw
I knew Frank as a young teenager growing up in Hampton Manor, and it was for certain that he "created" himself! He was funny, quick witted and talented in his own right. I know that that as kids, his closest friends loved him and I can see by reading these guest book messages that as an adult he continued his legacy. May he rest in peace. My heartfelt sympathy to Billy and family.
