FIORELLA, Frank Joseph Age 90, of Amesbury, MA, passed away peacefully at home, on March 13, 2025, surrounded by his loving pets and family. Frank's legacy lives on in the lessons he taught, the kindness he shared and the love he gave so freely.

Even after retiring, he never stopped working, later spending time in a bakery and produce department, where his warm smile made him a friend to all. Frank lived life with passion-riding his Harley, sailing his boat, scuba diving and embracing every challenge with determination. A longtime member of the Knights of Columbus, he was a man of faith, integrity and strong work ethic.
