Dear Marilyn,

What wonderful memories we have of our stays on Hassalo. Frank was always running around in his dark blue plumbing "suit" and heavy duty boots tending to anything that needed fixing. While his driving skills were rather frightening, he tackled everything with a "can-do" attitude and was always friendly and willing to help everyone. He reminded me of Dad (Uncle Don) in how he was able to fix things with what he had on hand - rusty nails were never discarded if they were...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My grandpa was the 'other' Frank (DeRosa) and we were always sure to get a visit in when we came in from out of town. Those were two awesome Franks! May the memories of Frank carry you through this difficult time. My sincerest condolences.

So sorry to hear about Frank. My thoughts are with u and the family.

I'm so sad to now learn about Frank. He was a fine happy and loving man. He work along side of my dad at the city sewer dept. In fact right now I am looking at his senior class picture of Lincoln High school as my parents went to school with him. As I hired on the city sewer crew I had been in Franks basement.He always called me Genie as my name is Gene. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. God Bless.
