Frank Gerardi Obituary
Frank had a very successful career as a music (chorus) teacher at Rockville Center High School. His chorus performed in New York City and in London, England as well as many other locations. He also taught school in Japan for two years. Frank was a virtuoso on the piano and easily could have continued success across the globe if he wanted. He touched the lives of many of his students that would still today keep in touch. He loved to travel and particularly enjoyed visiting Italy and Greece.
Frank was predeceased by his sister Cynthia Johnson. He is survived by his sister Linda Perrone (Babo, deceased), his niece Lori (Richard) Fairbanks and nephews Michael Perrone (Pam), Donald Johnson (Jennifer),Gregory and Brian Johnson as well as four great nieces and one great nephew. Also left behind to cherish his memory is longtime best friend for 56 and caregiver for the last six years, Robert Steckmeister.
In keeping with Frank's wishes, there will be no funeral services. Arrangements entrusted to the Glenville Funeral Home of Scotia-Glenville, NY online: GLENVILLEFUNERALHOME.COM

I had the pleasure of teaching with Frank. His students adored him and he was the light of any gathering! I will miss him tremendously- his laugh, his stories, the way he played the piano, his friendship. Rest easy my dear friend.
