Frankie was born in Jersey City to Francis and Eleanor Hacia on September 8, 1953. He graduated from Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen, NJ. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts from Kean University and a master's degree from Rutgers University. Prior to retirement, Frankie dedicated his life to service and most recently served as a service coordinator for a local Christian non-profit. Frankie was a devoted son and caretaker to his parents and would always bring light and laughter to even the darkest moments of life. Faith was a cornerstone of Frankie's life with a special devotion to the Blessed Mother and the Rosary. His siblings and nephews fondly remember his unique greeting cards which never failed to bring a smile to your face. These moments will surely be the most missed. Frankie loved sharing his interests and time with others. He truly lived a life of service and self-giving.
Frankie is survived by his sister Mary Hacia; his sister Grace Pugh; his brother Joseph Hacia; and his nephews Luke, William Pugh, Joseph Pugh, and John Pugh.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Our Lady of Fatima Roman Catholic Church.
