He was educated in the schools of Kenosha and played key roles on several winning football and basketball teams for Bradford High School.
Frank served in the military form 1952-1956 and achieved Navy 3rd Class status. He spent two years at Great Lakes Naval Base and was deployed for two years on the USS Philippine Sea (CV-47) aircraft carrier.
On June 6, 1959 he married Delores (Lori) Christman in Kenosha and they were happily married for more than 60 years.Frank was employed for 42 years by Allstate Insurance Company and ran his own agency for the company in Kenosha for more than 25 years.

He enjoyed attending his children's and grandchildren's sporting events, reading, and his trips to the casinos. In addition, Frank and Lori were avid travelers and spent time during many winters enjoying sunshine in the Sarasota, Florida area. While back in Kenosha, Frank could often be seen out and about enjoying his time at local restaurants with either friends or members of his family. Both Frank and Lori always lived by the motto "Family First" and they have taken special care to make sure that approach is carried forward in their memory.

My condolences to the entire Aiello family.
I had the distinct pleasure of dealing with Frank both on a professional and personal level. He was a kind and gentle person who always exuded a caring and positive persona. I will always remember the times I shared with him over lunch or breakfast because I always left with a better feeling after having spent time with him.

The notice we received of Frank's recent passing was very touching for both Mary and myself. We shared many memories over the last 44 years of living in the same neighborhood, with lots of block party picnics and watching our children achieve their dreams.
With the recent passing of Lorie, and Frank moving away, the neighborhood isn't the same. We will always cherish our many years together in the neighborhood. May they both rest in peace
