What a beautiful tribute. We didn´t know Mr Frassinelli, but reading about his life, I am awe-struck by his many accomplishments. Not just in his career, but in how he lived his life with integrity and purpose to serve those around him. Knowing his son, it´s clear that he lead by example, and instilled these traits in the next generation. What an immense honor it must be to have Mr Frassinelli as a dad. We are so sorry for the many people whose lives have been irrevocably wounded by his...

Mr. Frassinelli lived up the street from us when I lived on Hillside Dr (the second time). I was struggling in French class in College (ESSC) and he helped/tutored me. I had him for French while at Notre Dame HS and learned quite a lot. Thanks for the education and memories. Rest in Peace!!

Bruce is one of memorable people one meets in their lifetime. A bright and caring person who means what he says and was very trust worthy. My latest encounter with him was as class president and he made it work. As a friend, he will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Bruce's passing. I worked with him at LCCC. I loved to hear about his adventures. He was a passionate, kind and all around wonderful human. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.

My heart-felt condolences to you on the death of your remarkable Father. I have known him for over fifty years. My first assignment as a priest was to serve the students at East Stroudsburg University as a campus minister. For the past ten years, at least, we have been meeting twice a year for lunch, in the Spring and in the Fall. I always looked forward to these luncheons. I am unable to attend the services in memory of your Dad, but will remember him at Mass on Friday, September...

I worked with Bruce at The Express during the 1970s and 1980s. At one time our desks were side by side. I recall that he would bring his sons to work with him on Saturdays. Later, as managing editor, he was my boss. He was the consummate newspaperman, dedicated to getting the story right. More recently I enjoyed reading his occasional columns in The Morning Call. My sympathy to everyone in his family.

So sorry to read of Bruce's passing - Sincere condolences to the families - While still back in PA, read his column religiously - While I didn't always agree with his outlook, it was always scholarly & interesting - I didn't know Bruce personally, but knew his late wife Marie from her time in Nesquehoning - Once bumped into them both in Weis Mkt In Schnecksville where they lived - Times News readers have lost an intellectual voice from our midst - Again, my sincere condolences - Paul...
