Frank Santoro, 77 passed away peacefully on December 14th after a long battle with cancer. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Frank was a proud New Yorker whose life was defined by hard work, kindness and an unforgettable sense of humor. As an electrical contractor, Frank dedicated himself to his trade and owned his own successful business.
Frank was the beloved father of Lynne Rakeman and Jenine Andrews, father-in-law to Andrew Rakeman and Matthew Andrews, and the much-loved grandfather of Christopher, James, Emilia, Emma, Ava and Brynn. He was preceded in death by his wife, Catherine, and he is survived by his loving sister Rosi Reese. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all of those who were lucky enough to know him.
Services will be held at Macken Mortuary in Rockville Centre on Tuesday December 17th from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, December 18th at 9:454am at St. Agnes Cathedral.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in his memory to the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

Rest in peace, Frank Santoro. There will never be another Boss like you. Us Levinson & Santoro crew members all loved and appreciated you far more than you could have imagined. Lynne told us how much we meant to you, but I don't think you will ever understand how much you meant to us all. All the talks you gave us as individuals, as your very own children, that you knew well as their own person, you dealt with us as a collective and as our own individual selves, accordingly. I am happy you at least got to see me become a Foreman, which is something you always foresaw and predicted. I'm glad I made you proud all these years and even after you left L&S. Thank you for EVERYTHING, I mean truly mean EVERYTHING. REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND. I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE YOU PROUD. I WILL CONTINUE TO STRIVE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE ME FROM THE HEAVENS.
