Frank Rinere Obituary
Passed away, surrounded by family, on October 4, 2024 at the age of 91.
Predeceased by his parents, Frank A. & Salvatrice Rinere; & sister, Joanne Lamb; Henry and Mary Muto, and son-in-law, William Nichols.
He is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Evelyn; children, Frank H. (Patrice) Rinere, Cheri Nichols & Shelley Ouellette; grandchildren, Christopher (Eugene), Brian (Mickie), Michael (Ryan), Erin (Pat), Chelsea (Adam), Kevin, Kristin, Jack, Stephen, Olivia & Lauren; great-grandchildren, Remi, Aria, Oliver, Dawson, Kori & Koa; sisters, Gerry (Fran) Michalski & Donna (Travis) Foster; many nieces, nephews & cousins.
Frank served his country as a Korean War Veteran, and his community as a Policeman for the City of Rochester. He had a great sense of humor and appreciation of comedy, Jazz and history. He worked hard, prioritizing education, travels and adventure for his family. With his wife, Evelyn, he spent many winters in Naples, Florida. Our father was loyal, honest, genuine and kind. His work ethic, integrity and devotion to his family were evident, and impacted those who knew him. He will be greatly missed, as he continues to influence us. We envision him going for nice long drives with his dog, Calamity, by his side.
A funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 2400 W Ridge Rd, Rochester, NY 14626.
