Frank J. Gualtieri Jr.

Frank and I go way back. We worked together at UMUC - Asia for a quarter of a century, since 1985. During all that time he was a colleague to be admired, a friend to be relied upon. Everyone loved him and with good reason. Frank was brilliant, magnanimous, cheerful, and kind. His kindness was not now-and-then; it was his nature. "With malice toward none, with charity for all"; Lincoln's phrase is the one I think of when I think of Frank--which I do, often. I remember him smiling,...

I taught with Frank in Yokota from 1997-2001, and I have worked for him for him as an online instructor for the last 3 years.

I think often about how kind Frank was to me during my time in Asia. On the nights that we would teach together at Yokota, I would seek Frank out during the breaks to chat with him. I always looked forward to teaching at Yokota because I knew we would have some time to chat.

Rest in Peace, Fg2. Wikipedia loves you.

To Mr. Gualtieri's family; Frank was a dedicated and hard-working member of the Wikimedia community, where he edited regularly and uploaded many, many exquisite photographs which he shared freely with the world. His legacy will live on to be admired and enjoyed by people worldwide. We'll miss him on Wikipedia and on Commons. My condolence to his family.

Mr. Gualtieri uploaded hundreds of wonderful photographs that he took to Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fg2/gallery). Many of those photos are linked to articles in Wikipedia, where they will help enrich the learning experience of others for a long time to come. As a fellow Wikipedia editor, I enjoyed collaborating with Mr. Gualtieri (username Fg2) on topics related to Japan. My condolences on his passing.
