Frank was born in Brooklyn, NY to Jeanette and Anthony Piccone on June 4, 1930. Frank grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Lafayette High School in 1948 and later in life he graduated from Iona College. After graduation, Frank joined the U.S. Navy in 1948 through 1989 as an anti-submarine Helicopter Pilot -HS-74. Frank worked for Con Edison as an electrician and then as a district manager until his retirement in 1990. During that time Frank served in the Navy Reserves until 1989. Frank could be summed up in three words: Family, Friendship and Country. In the 93 years that Frank lived he was so many things to so many. His Mahopac friends and his Navy buddies were a big part of his life. He loved traveling with the love of his life Dolores. They took many trips together, Alaska being one of his favorites. They loved to go to dances at the Glen Island Casino with their friends.
Frank embraced his community. When he moved to Mahopac, he became head of the homeowner's association, he was the head of the Architect Review Board for his town, and he was the baseball commissioner for his son's baseball league. He was the dad you could find after work as the pitcher for kick ball, any kid was welcome. He never missed his son's football games. Frank was known for his selflessness. Always the first to volunteer to help his friends and neighbors. The life of a party, Frank had a great sense of humor and a love for big band music and dancing.
Later in life it was all about his grandchildren, any game he could attend he was there. When his grandson Glenn went to Cooperstown grandpa was right there with him. Nothing was more important to Frank than spending quality time with his four grandchildren. Sleepovers and pancake breakfasts were his specialty.
Frank was a wonderful and caring husband, father, grandpa and friend, who will be missed, but always loved and remembered, by those he leaves behind.
Relative and friends are invited to attend his funeral mass celebrated at Roman Catholic Church of St. Johns the Evangelist, Mahopac, NY on Thursday February 1, at 10:00 am. Services will conclude with Interment in Hillside Cemetery in Cortlandt Manor, NY.
