A graduate of West Orange high school class of 1954, Frank was a proprietor of Gemini Wines and liquors and the bar Gemini II both located in Orange. He was a very proud business owner and loved by many. Frank had a love for baking and cooking and was known for his famous cheesecake and homemade pasta.
Later in his life he sold his businesses and home in West Orange to relocate to Cape Coral, Florida. For the next 26 years Frank worked for Gulf Bindery Inc in Fort Myers, Florida.

You came to the hospital when my kids were born. You came to Christmas gatherings. You gave countless chin tickles. Your cheesecakes and eggplant dishes can never be replaced. You became Uncle Frankie & will forever be remembered and missed. Thank you to the Gagliardi family for sharing Frank with us. Our deepest condolences to all of you.

Frank was far more than an employee of GBI in Ft Myers... he was uncle Frank to so many. He had prior experience from a younger age in NJ and taught us a few tips along the way. We are proud to call him our longest serving employee, who also became our friend. You can rest knowing you made an impression. Condolences to the family.
