Frank Grimaldo Obituary

Grimaldo, Frank T.
Frank T. Grimaldo 62, beloved father, brother, uncle and friend, passed away on June 3, 2015. He is reunited with our mother and father, Marie Louise Betancurt and Frank M. Grimaldo, in the loving arms of Jesus. Frank worked at Honeywell Aerospace for 30 years where he made many friends. He enjoyed sports as well as listening to R&B music. March Madness always kept him busy every year, always hoping his U of A Wildcats, would emerge victorious. He was an avid San Francisco Giants and San Francisco Forty Niners fan. He is survived by his daughters Adriana Betancourt, Jessica and Jennifer, grandchildren Angelica and Jacob, sisters Lupe Grimaldo-Dawdy, Irene Barreras, and Betty Baker, nieces Veronica and Dorothy & nephews Anthony and Victor Barreras, and Jerome and Jason Baker. Frank was an organ donor and, while our family is saddened by his passing, we take comfort in knowing he will live on not only in our hearts, but in the lives of those his donations help. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 10:30AM with a viewing from 9:30-10:30AM at Holy Cross Catholic Mortuary, 9925 W. Thomas Road, Avondale. Burial will follow at St Francis Catholic Cemetery, 2033 N. 48th Street Phoenix. Memories and condolences may be shared by visiting the online obituary guestbook at www.holycrosscatholicmortuary.com.

Lupe, Irene and Betty. I am the daughter of Nieves and Elvira Morquecho and we visited with you all quite a bit when we were kids. Lupe, the last time I saw you was here at my home over 20 years ago. Your parents and my parents were friends. I am so sorry to hear about
Frank. I just remember him as school age kids but am so proud that he pursued school and became a great man with a family and a good job. I have always wondered how you all were. My condolences to all of you. Dad died in December and we miss him as you will miss your brother/husband/Dad. I was just told about his death today. Sorry I couldn't be there for you. Praying for peace in your hearts. Margo Morquecho

My Dear Brother - rest in Heaven with the eternal light of Jesus shining upon you. You're with our parents, now at peace. Although my heart aches, I am happy that you are free from the pain and sadness that the mortal world can bring. I love you Big Brother and I will miss you very much.
