I was blessed to have work with Frank Rando for many years selling petroleum products to the contractor trade located in and around the Boston area.

We were successful selling Mobil products because of the respect Frank Rando commanded from all who knew him.

Thank you Frank Rando for sharing your life with me.

God Bless

Mr. Rando was a wonderful man and coach who will be dearly missed. He was the type of coach who inspired his team, and we always tried our best to make him proud. Inspiring that kind of loyalty in young people speaks to the great man that he was. I would like to thank his family for sharing such a great man with our community. He touched many young lives and helped form us into the men we would become. I would not be where I am today without his guidance and support. One of the cherished memories of my youth was seeing Coach Rando pull up at the ball park ready to play. My sincerest condolences for his family, the extent of his loss reaches far and he will be missed by many.

Playing for Mr Rando in Dedham Little League will always be one of my greatest memories. He was so passionate, motivational and made the game fun. He would challenge me to shine my cleats before practice and we would compare his shine with mine. Nobody could bend a brim on a baseball hat like Coach Rando. Sorry for everyone's loss but so proud to be part of his coaching legacy.
Thank you Mr Rando for teaching me to do things right in all my life's endeavors.
