Frank Giampetro

As a member of the Greenon High School class of 1965, I will always remember my years with Mr. G in the Marching, Concert, Symphonic and Pep bands. He was the most personable teacher I ever encountered while still expecting and receiving the respect of each of his students as we performed to the best of our abilities to make Mr. G proud. He will most definitely be missed and can never be replaced. I have no doubt he is now directing a heavenly ensemble of musicians.

The First Family to welcome my family to Urbana back in 1972. Both Frank and Rosa made us All feel like this is Home ! Thanks. Rest in Peace Mr. G.

Frank was `The Deal´ in the Urbana/Champaign County area. Everyone knew him for humor, dedication to a better life for all, friendly to the extreme, interested in so many helping ventures and proud of his family. Deep condolences to his family and close friends.

Frank was a great guy, truly a gentle soul. I played in a number of local bands with Frank. He was always willing to drop everything and pick up his trombone. One time Gov. Strickland came to Champaign County to dedicate a water plant in St. Paris. I was charged with putting a band together on a practically non-existent budget. I formed the group, arranged the governor´s favorite song, "Happy Trails," and slipped a little cash into each musician´s folder to cover their gas expense. ...

Frank or Franky G as I called him will be sadly missed he was always a great pleasure ,and great life story teller,I always enjoyed our conversations we had in the salon at Trustwell.May all the wonderful memories of your dad over flow your heart and bring you peace in the coming days.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I was a junior in the Urbana high school marching band when Frank did his student teaching there. It´s wonderful to read about the amazing life that he and Rosa had together

I never had Frank for a teacher or I was never in the band, but Frank was well loved by all the students. He will be missed. RIP Mr. G.

Frank was my driving instructor back in high school in 1974. He was a great guy and I would have never been able to Parallel park without his help. He had a 4 step instruction that made it simple. There were 3 of us in the car learning and him instructing. We all spend alot of time talking and listening to his storys. He had alot of patience with teenagers. A fine man and was like a father to many of us. RIP Mr. G

RIP Mr. Giampetro
