Francesco Salvatore "Frank" Brusco

Francesco "Frank" Salvatore Brusco, age 65, of Orange peacefully entered into rest on Wednesday April 2, 2025 in his home with his loving family by his side. He is the beloved husband of Elsa (Addario) Brusco and father to Mia and Frank Jr. He was born in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, on November 26, 1958 son of Rita (Bruno) Brusco and the late Joseph Brusco. Frank moved to Florida in 1970 and graduated in the first class of Coral Spring High School.
He met his soul mate Elsa and together they partnered to successfully run the family business, Brusco's Italian Restaurant, in Deerfield, FL. Above all Frank loved family outings especially Sunday dinners, cooking, golfing, cars, RV camping, traveling, and Harley Davidson motorcycles.
In addition to being survived by his loving wife, mother, and children, Frank leaves his sister, Maria, his mother-in-law Assunta Addario, brother-in-laws and sister-in-law Aldo, Jr, Enzo and Rosalba Addario, and several nieces and nephews. He was also predeceased by his brother Tony Brusco.
Though his physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his legacy of love and joyous spirit will continue to uplift and inspire us all.
