Frank Bert Firpo Jr.

Oh my gosh Sharon, I am so very sorry that you have lost your "Firp." I can't imagine. I wish you well and please know many people are thinking of you. I heard through Michelle. God bless you and the family my dear.

I have great memories of Coach Firpo. He made me feel like part of the BHS basketball family starting with his summer school basketball class I attended after eighth grade, to the last basketball game as a Senior. He was always there for me - whether it was for a ride to a game or talking about which college to attend. He was a great influence on me!

To the Firpo Family,

My deepest condolences to the family during this time. I remember seeing Mr. Firpo around BHS and was always smiling! I know that Mrs. Firpo loved him so much from the stories she told at SR.

I played basketball for Mr. Firpo at Mills in the late 60's and was a student in his U.S. History class. Although it was thirty or so years after the fact, I'm glad I wrote him a letter telling him how he inspired me to pursue a career in education. It is a measure of the man that when my mother passed away a few years ago, there was Mr. Firpo totally out of the blue at her memorial service. My prayers are with the Firpo family.

Mrs. Firpo and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I attended Burlingame High School from 1973-1977. I was blessed to have known Mr. Firpo as my World Geography teacher and as my Varsity Basketball Coach. He always had a positive, enthusiastic and happy outlook on life, never allowing any negatives from the previous day to carry forward. He was an excellent teacher in the classroom and could teach by example on the court. I remember one practice during Christmas break...

Janet and Dave,
I'm so sorry about your loss. Hate to see a great coach and teacher leave us at such a young age. Sounds like he influenced MANY lives and will always be remembered by his students and friends

Sharon and Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Frank was a great person. Take care, Jeff, Velvet, Hunter, and Payton Hartwick

All my prayers are with his family at this time.

Rest in peace Mr. Firpo

Sending my love and condolences to Sharon and the family. Rest in peace, Frank.
