FRANK D. FURIGA

Remembered always. A true gentleman. Sorely missed.

I'm so sorry I missed Frank's Final Mission. He was very giving,and did so much so through his "Gathering Of Eagles" Program that he intensely put on during the early 80's. I knew him the most at the Maple Hts. Library sessions. His Hope was to keep Alive The Memory of All he served with in the 8th Air Force. He advocated for All that served around the World. He never forgot his Brother in the Italian Campaign. I just wanted to Thank The Furiga Family for the Gift of Time and Camaraderie....

So sorry to hear about Frank. Our prayers and sympathies go out to your family. I will be upgrading his webpage to include his obituary.

So sorry for your loss , Frank was a wonderful man , please contact me Terri . May God Bless You and Your Family ..

Frank was a good friend of ours. I am sorry to learn of his passing. My prayers are with you all. -Olga Szorady

My beloved husband has gone to be with the Lord. He was my best friend and soul mate for 57 years. My heart aches with the loss of him. But I am reminded, "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away," (Rev. 21:4).
I love you my sweetheart,

Your princess

On behalf of my mother and sisters and our families, thank you to all have expressed condolences electronically, by phone and in person. Dad, you were one of a kind, truly one of the "greats" in the "greatest generation." You are in the heavens now, at an altitude that suits your mark on this Earth and our family!
