Francesco Marinaccio

To all the Marinaccio family, I am sorry for the delay in writing, but I just found about your father's passing from my parents. When I think back on my college career at Barrington College (class of 1978), my fondest and most profound memories include musical rehearsals, performances, and classes with Mr. Marinaccio (I still can't bring myself to call him "Frank":) His conducting class, the band rehearsals (Debbie was right--everyone was "Dolly"!), and the many, many chats about how he...

So very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Frank was a major influence on my early life as a musician, to the point where I consider him to be the closest thing I had to a mentor, which is pretty amazing when you consider I play French horn, not clarinet. His musicianship, patience, and most of all his humor, will always inspire me. I feel blessed to have known him.

To the Marinaccio family,
I extend my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to you at this time. Remember how he called us all "Dolly" when we attended Barrington College? What a wonderful person and exceptional musician he was. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Marinaccio Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all now and always. Our families have that bond of the most amazing musicians. We just have to remember all they were to us and hope we can pass on the love of music to others for them now. As some of us already have done and continue to do. What inspirations they were and always will be to us and to so many. I will always remember Frank with love and kindness and as a wonderful family man.

With Love,

To the Marinaccio family...my deepest condolences for your loss. Frank was an inspiration to all of us who chose music as our careers. He will be greatly missed.

To the Marinaccio family, my family are very touched with the passing of Mr. Marinaccio. Our thoughts are with you.
