CIRONE, Frank

Frank Cirone, 69, presently of Tampa, FL, passed away on April 22, 2012. A native of New Jersey, Frank spent his childhood in Northvale graduating from New York Military Academy in 1960. He married Caron Cirone in 1966 and their son Marc was born in 1967. Frank started his professional career in 1967 as a CPA for Arthur Andersen in the Chicago office. The next year after transferring to the Hartford office he moved the family to their first home in Windsor from 1968 to 1973. The family moved to Belgium from 1973 to 1976. While living there he worked in the Brussels office, gained a passion for wine collecting, and enjoyed traveling across Europe with his family. In 1976 the family moved back to the US and lived in Avon until 1996. While in Avon, he changed careers and held multiple senior financial and operation executive positions primarily in the telecommunications industry. The family belonged to the Golf Club of Avon where he enjoyed playing golf and hanging out with the guys in the grill room. Frank and Caron moved to Henderson, NV in 1996 and lived there until 2004. They then moved to Florida, first living in Coral Springs and then moving to Tampa. While in Tampa Frank were Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of ProVest. He is survived by his son, Marc Cirone; daughter-in-law Nancy Cirone; grandchildren Isabella and Anna Cirone. He was preceded in death by his wife, Caron Cirone, parents Biagio and Irma Cirone, and his sister, Linda Laracy. He will be dearly missed.

Deepest sympathy to your family! I just found out today Frank and Caron passed away. I worked with Frank in California briefly and I really enjoyed him, his laugh and his sense of humor! One of the best experiences in my life to know and work with him. I also had the pleasure of spending time with Caron.

Marc,

Perhaps the pain and grief had come too much to bear and although Frank knew that his passing would be a huge loss to those close to him, his time had come to say goodbye. He bid his farewell to those very close and dear to him and others who passed him alone the way. He leaves behind his unending work ethics, which lead to his success, his beloved golf but more than anything Frank said goodbye to his son Marc, daughter-in-law Nancy and most beloved granddaughters. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family and we hope your Dad is now at peace.

Love Anthony and Lucy Caputi

Marc,

My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. Frank was very much a mentor to me, taking time to explain complex business financials with wisdom and his "real world" style. He taught me alot. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Marc,

I was truly blessed to come to know both your father and your mother over the past six years. Frank served a role in my life, and my family's, that no one else ever has or ever could. He had a very unique ability to guide through keen insight, humor, and direct confrontation of difficult issues. I will forever be grateful for the indelible imprint he has left in my mind and heart. And I am also blessed by the opportunity to get to know you, Marc. You carry within you the best of both of your mom and dad. You have brought both of your parents through the full circle of their lives with such grace and strength. We wish you, your wife, and two daughters comfort and peace during this time of loss. Scott, Amyand Cullen Strady

Marc, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I do have some fond memories to share of lawn tractor races down Beverly Drive, competition for the most perfect lawn, and your Dad's assertion that we only bought our house so that we could enjoy looking at yours! Your father teased me unmercifully; and I loved every minute of it.

Dear Marc,

Our deepest sympathy is with you and your family at the loss of your father so soon after losing your mother. They were always fun to be with and we have many happy memories of them. Sincerely, Barbara and John Drew

Meeting Frank after the passing of his wife and being able to care for him was a pleasure in itself. I will always remember all the interesting stories he shared with me about his life with his wife Caron which I wish I would have had the pleasure of knowing, and his son Marc. Marc Frank was very proud of you. We laughed alot and it made me very sad to have lost him so soon, I would like to say that. I had grown to love him as my own family member and will miss him so. My prayers to Marc and his family, for the loss of his kind and wonderful father. God bless.

Marc, thank you for sharing these wonderful photos of Frank and Caron; what a beautiful couple. I will truly miss your Father. I grew to admire and respect him over the last 4-5 years and always loved his enthusiasm for life, humor and support. Frank had a unique way of making people feel special. With his infectious smile and keen focus, he always made me feel like I was saying the most important thing on earth (even though at times I would blab on about nonsense!) There was a layer of depth to Frank that the World will miss--I know that I will. He was a special man and I am grateful to have known him. May God bless you and your family.
