I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Frank. I enjoyed visiting him once a week for a few years as his homemaker. Not only was he quite an accomplished person but a real gentleman as well. Rest in Peace Frank. My condolences to his family.

I met Frank at New Horizons. We shared a love of ice cream. I was planning to bring in the makings of strawberry sundaes and am sorry we did not enjoy that last sundae. I will miss Frank very much.

I was 15 and rebellious, I never had any problem with Mr. Matarese. He was honest, fair, and never acted superior. He was a pleasant memory of my Jr, High days.
