Frank retired 8 years ago after a successful 15 years of being an entrepreneur. Prior to being an entrepreneur, he worked as a manufacturer’s sales representative for many products sold throughout New England. Frank was a great father, role model and fighter who survived four cancers, and a 25-year battle with heart disease and diabetes.
Frank’s best days were spent enjoying his family, whether it be at home, on the many vacations he took his family on or at the baseball diamonds, football fields or basketball gymnasiums. His hobbies included golfing and watching the New York Yankees. Frank had a mind as sharp as a tack and could recall every game his children performed in.
