To Frank's wonderful children and grandchildren,
Although we have many memories of your father/grandfather, one memory that we'd like to share as a tribute to Frank's reliable friendship is an event that happened 50 years ago! When it came to transporting our four-tier wedding cake from Wallingford to our reception site in Hamden, he was the man we called! With complete confidence, he accepted the challenge cheerfully and performed the task perfectly! That unselfish act has continued...

Bonnie I just saw this , so sorry I’m so late sending my condolences. I smiled when I saw your Dads sweet face. I remember him coaching me in basketball! I have a fond memory of being at your house on elm st. picking out my very first kitten, a gorgeous Calico. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Bonnie and Bill, Tracy, Scott, Jeff and Todd,
The last time I saw your Dad, he walked me to my car at Masonic giving me a big hug. We told each other that we loved each other. Ironically, this was similar to my last goodbye with Bob Gannon - they were both extraordinarily loving! We and Wallingford were so blessed by their friendship and generosity. I miss both of your parents in my life. There were no more welcomed hot summer calls than your Dad's evening swimming invitations at...

Bonnie and Bill, Tracy, Scott, Jeff, Todd, and Nick - Frank was very dear to all the Gannon family. Both he and your mom will always be part of the fabric of our lives. Among my early memories are of when your dad and mine (your “Uncle Bob”) launched the Debbie Basketball League and your mom and mine (your “Aunt Agnes”) turned our dining room into a sewing room to make the uniforms for the early seasons. The lives of our families were intertwined, and we were all blessed for it. John and I...

To my "almost-cousins" - Bonnie, Tracy, Scott, Jeff and Todd,
Your Dad was such a Sweetheart! I loved him for many reasons, but the top of the list was the day he built a hand railing to our basement so my Mom would be safer carrying the piles of laundry down. He may have thought it simple but mom praised it almost daily. Just one example of the caring, thoughtful man he was. I will always treasure the wonderful relationship the Rondo and Gannon families shared. You are all so special...

We have many happy memories of Frank and Dottie Rondo. Dottie's mother, Hazel was my mother, Margaret's sister. There were a few years between them as Hazel was the oldest of 8 children and Margaret (Peg) was the youngest, so we knew them as Uncle Frank and Aunt Dottie, and their children were like first cousins since childhood. Uncle Frank and Aunt Dottie were the best. Our heartfelt sympathies to all the Rondo family and their friends. Rest in peace Frank and enjoy being with Dottie...

Bonnie and Bill, Tracy, Scott, Jeff and Todd,
My memories of your dad always make me smile! He had such a lively presence that's captured so well in the photo you've posted here. He was my early inspiration to try and tackle all home repair jobs! But also for me, he was an early example of a giving community volunteer/leader, dedicated family man and responsive, loyal friend to me and my family.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers, as your dad has been called home. May God...
