Frank Carfaro, age 77, died On July 30, 2025, at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. He was born and raised in Summit, New Jersey, and then lived many decades in Charleston.
Frank had a kind and generous spirit and a playful nature. He knew how to enjoy life. In our many fond memories of Frankie, we see him giggling, laughing, and having a good time. Here is some of what gave him joy: Folly Beach, surfing, teaching the art of boxing, lovely ladies, and great cars like his "candy-apple red" Chrysler Sebring convertible.
Frank is survived by his large extended family. He will be greatly missed by his family and his faithful friends.
