Not sure what to say?

My condolences to all of Frank's loved ones. He was one of my favorite people at Jefferson Jr High and in our neighborhood.

Frank was more than just a teacher to me. He believed in me and brought out talents that have served me well my entire life.

Mr. Siracusa was my teacher back in the day at Jefferson. I was in 8th grade and I am 60 now. Not sure if he learned me anything but he tried. I didn't have a choice to argue because he was much bigger than I. Thanks Mr. Siracusa for some memories I have from then. Espeacially when I ran into you in the hall as I tried to escape form a class. You where a BIG guy to run into. LOL God Bless

My condolences Chuck and Shari.

Mr. Siracusa was my neighbor for over 18 years. He was the nicest person you would ever meet. He gave so much of his time to Jefferson High School and anyone who needed a hand. He could fix anything and would often help people who could not afford to do repairs themselves. He built a lot of things for the school yet never took credit for doing it. Mr. Siracusa was a true
gentleman and will be missed.

Chuck and Shari,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Our hearts and prayers are
with you and your family. I have many fond memories of your dad keeping our book and doing our stat's for the Jefferson
Basketball program. He was family and truly a great person.
We were blessed to have him a part of the basketball program.

Coach Ed Hearyman

You have found the peace you deserve and may God Bless your family and give then comfort and peace

THis is certainly bad news. Mr. Siracusa was so inspiration for me, a mentor, but most of all a friend. After I graduated, I would stop by and see him regularly as I could. I remember when he said her was Retiring and I couldn't believe it. To say he had an influence on me is an understatement. I spent many years in the trades, and I can remember when I was doing something wrong, whether it was set up, or maching...I could here him tell me "THat's NOT the way I taught you!" Later on in my...

My condolences to Franks family. He was one of my favorite teachers. He will be missed.
