Frank was a wonderful friend and colleague for many years, who often reflected his love for Karen and Frankie. It was such a tragedy that his life was taken way too early. Rest in peace!

Frank, you were and are a great family man.

February 22, 2013

Karen and Frank,

I don't have to tell you what a great person Frank was. From the time we met as freshman at LC you could tell he was one of those special guys who people were just drawn to. Although his time was short, we're all a little better for having known him.

Dear Karen and Frankie,

When you left California and our little street, a big light went out, but that was nothing compared to this very, very sad news. We all loved Frank — his spirit, his smile — and we loved the MONZOS, the bright bright joy that was the three of you together. Frank's passing is nothing but heartbreaking, but we know, even in this difficult time, that the way he touched all of us will live on.

Our hearts and deepest condolences are with you.

Dear Karen and Frankie, We are so stunned to hear about Frank. He was always great to speak with, especially about baseball. We'll remember his constant smile -- because we can never recall him with a frown. And the backyard will never smell the same again without him at the grill. You are all in our prayers.

So sorry to hear about Frank's passing. I started working with Frank in 1980 at ITT. In the past few years when a group of us from ITT got together for dinner, we always ended up talking about sports. He was so proud of Frank and his athletic accomplishments. My older son went to Ursinus and played 2 sports there, so that was why the conversation always came around to him talking about his son.
Frank was a great guy and good friend, and he will be missed.

Karen and Frank,
It was my privilege and pleasure to work with Frank over the years and more recently at CIT Healthcare. He was the consumate professional although family thoughts and concerns were always a priority. I also enjoyed sharing the emotions of the Phillies 2008 run with him. As Harry Kalas would have said, "Frank Monzo...a great Phillies Fan".

Karen and Frank,
i'm very sorry for your loss. i was a colleague of Frank's at CIT. He was energetic, insightful and always had a very sincere interest in doing the right thing. I never personally saw him upset, although there were no doubt many reasons to be so. He was a quality guy. All the best to you and your family.

I worked with Frank at CIT and truly enjoyed his humor, candor and friendship. Not a day went by that we didn't compare stories about our Lasalle years (even though I attended many years after him). The world has lost a great man and caring spirit. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.
