Our deepest sympathy to the Candelieri and Bradbury families. It was always a pleasure to see Frank outside in our neighborhood. We always enjoyed chatting and I always smiled when I would see him and Sally driving past our house in their car. I love that most of the time there have been three generations living next door and feel that you are very lucky to have shared this time together as a family. May your wonderful memories of Frank bring you peace and happiness in the future.

Auntie Sally and Family,
Tim and I were so very sorry to
hear of Uncle Franks passing. He was such an integral member of the Candelieri-DiGrazia Clan during every Holiday Celebration and Sunday Dinner; His beautiful dark eyes and constant and ready smile were such an important part of the fabric of our family. He will be missed...
Our sincere sympathies for your tremendous loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Tim and Michele...

Our sincere condolences go out to the Candelieri and Bradbury family. There was never a time when we visited the Bradburys that Frank did not treat us as family. You can count on our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. We will truly miss Frank and his awesome breakfasts.

We knew Frank for over 60 years, and worked with him many years. He was a family man and would tackle any job that was handed to him. We are going to miss him very much. We know that you are in heaven with your family relatives and friends, rest in peace.
